Default WTB on/off type switches (like the rear defroster

Hey,

I want to replace the blanks beneath the ash tray or in the dash in my 996 race car with on/off type switches (like the rear defroster or PCM off) so i can use them for my helmet cooler power and cool suit power.

I can't use side window switches since they don't stay on full time and i don't know how to modify them.

I can't find these anywhere! any 996 or Boxter will work.

Thx,

V

Go to an electronics store, buy a switch, jury-rig a solution...

Yeah. Why can't u just use some of those race-carish metal toggle switches? You don't need stock appearing switches for a track only car.

Make an offer to LA Dismantlers and walk if they don't take it. I'm sure they'll negotiate.
