Title: 1987 P-30 Rectangular Dash Rocker Switches?
Post by: AKATheAlchemist on May 03, 2018, 10:44:02 am

Hey Fellow Foretravelers,

I'm needing to add a switch to my dash and I tired to put in an off the shelf switch from auto store... but the dash is metal and has cutout already for the same switches that are already on the dash.

I can't cut the metal in anyway that won't look like horrible bad trash.

So I need more of the stock switches. 20-30amp range. Would be nice if it'd light up when on.

Any idea where to get these?

They look like they are about 1" x 1 3/4"

Mouser probably has them: Rocker Switches | Mouser (https://www.mouser.com/Electromechanical/Switches/Rocker-Switches/_/N-5g2q/)

With a 20 to 30 amp load it might be better to run the load through a relay that can handle the load and use the switch for the trigger on the relay.
