Anybody found a suitable 40mmX20mm rocker switch to suite a 2008 Prado?? I am trying to fit a RedArc with the override switch and I can't source one to fit.
Cheers and thanks

Hello Dorf - i found the 20A SPST (toggle on
ff) from Jaycar (about $5 from memory) fits perfectly in the dash and mounting blanks.
Maybe check them out online and see if you like it.

I bought a Narva one from Repco a while ago to use for my driving lights and installed into the spot next to the little coin bin in the console.
I had to file out the hole a bit more so that it would fit but once in, it looks factory fitted.
Easiest way would be to remove the plastic console around the gear stick and work on it.

Hi Dobbo,Originally posted by Dobbo
The Narva ones don't fit the late 2006 (and I assume the 2007, 2008) Prado's. I just tried one on the weekend for my reversing camera and they are too short (they are 34.5 mm long) and the hole size is 40mm.
Which is a real pain, because the Narva switches are great.2006 D4D VX, Diesel, 5-speed Auto, Charcoal, dark window tint, Toyota hitch receiver, custom home-built drawers, Piranha Fridge slide, Waeco 50L fridge, Dual Battery, Polaris GPS and Reversing cameraComment

I just did a search on "12v Rocker Switch" on Google and came up with this place:
The 12 Volt Shop
Their Carling Waterproof Switch range indicate a size of 36x21.
Contact details are:
4/12 Kewdale Rd
Welshpool, WA 6106
Phone: (08) 9458 1212
Fax: (08) 9458 1977
Give em a ring and see how you go, or speak really really nicely to the WA guys and see if they can drop in and give an opinion on the gear.
[Edit]I actually found another place that sports the same style of switches but this one displays them all (I assume) online:
