Can anybody recommend a decent 'flush' mounted 2 gang switch to fit in my dashboard?

ive got some really nice carling switches there flush mount and have a tactile rubber finish,best of all they have a current rating of 30amps constant @12v.
they are water resistant and i have on/off and on/off/on momentary and bezels etc let me know what your looking for and i will go through the box ive got they are all brand new these are the best switches in the business.
i also have some other switches and fuse boards etc available.

Yeh, Carling are pretty much used by everyone. For ease of fitment, you'll need the surrounds as well, then you only have to cut one hole.

Thank you Gentlemen. Sounds like just what I need.
I've to fit these in a P xl dashboard, from memory it's about an 1" thick.
How are the switches fix in place?

if you cut a hole just for a switch, you'll have a real problem fixing it in a way that you'd be able to remove it at a later date. Using the surrounds, it'll be much easier. They're normally used in switch panels etc that are only a few mm thick, but I've not had a problem sticking em in with silicon or similar.

Tony are the surrounds to be found at bluesea.com?

Tony Davis · 14-04-2009, 01:16 PM

I think so, but the cheapest place to buy either switches or surrounds is probably EC Smith, which is where I buy mine from.

You reckon, I've got a special offer on at the moment, and I guarantee that i can undercut you on this transaction!

Bloody 'ell' chaps.
I require 2No: Switches (preferably with integral indication when on).
These are;
1No: On-Off.
1No: On-Off-Momentary.
1No: 2-gang switch surround.

Then we'll go for the free installation, on site, plus a tank full of fuel.
Who's first?

Over to you Mr Davis.

Tony Davis · 14-04-2009, 08:56 PM

I'll need to know what your offer is, and if he's accepted it before I undercut it!

Wayne Kerr · 14-04-2009, 09:28 PM

OK, lets start. What is the current market price on the 'high street'?

Tony Davis · 16-04-2009, 03:07 PM

The retail price, according to EC smith, is £5.70 per switch, and £1.45 per suround, although I've just had to pay £16.00 for a (on)-off-(on) dpdt from Merlin!!!!!!

So I can do both switches and surrounds for £7.50 incl postage.
