Title: Rocker Switch Block-outs
Post by: Sebulba on February 25, 2022, 12:17:42 PM: Hello all,

Last night I started taking out some of the unused Dash Switches in My D3.

I am, of course left with holes in the dash panel. I sure would like to get some of those block-outs, that I could put in the holes and make it look nicer. The hole are 1 1/8 inches by 3/4 inch.

I checking with Mouser Electronics and got no love.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Seb

Something like that is what I'm looking for, but the hole size is 3/4 inch by 1 1/8 inch. Those are too big.

I will look around amazon and see if I can find something now that I have better search terms.

Thanks

Seb

school buses too.

I want to install toggles.

Hello eprelot,

I really appreciate the offer. I needed light 10 of them, so I just cut a piece of plastic and glued it to the back of the holes. It keeps the dirt out and looks pretty good too.
