I've been thinking about what latching switch I could add into one of the blanks on the dash to control some lighting. Any more detail on which switch fitted which blank?
Thanks

Single throw means it clicks over just once.

Those little round switches are much cheaper on eBay, I’ve bought bucketloads of the things, with and without LEDs in various colours

Does anyone know if any of the latching switches mount into the spaces taken up by the rectangular blanks mounted into the two blocks of six switches on the dash?

This cropped up on another thread here recently. It appears that almost all of those blanks are a unique shape. I guess you could drill hole in them to accommodate a smaller switch.

Thank you; that was how I thought it looked. I am presuming too that all the OEM buttons, even if the nomenclature was OK, would be just a momentary contact on being pressed.
I’ll have to think of something else!
Sorry I hadn’t found the other thread either.
