I’m sure it’s been covered a million times, but what’s the best switch for the job?? I’ve got a couple of 20mm rocker switches but think they’ll be too big ??

Ahh slick that’s what I was thinking about doing. I was wondering what diameter to go with and now I know. Thanks very much

I drilled out to like 13mm, then used my dremel to slowly sand-down the plastic hole to widen it enough to push the switch in

But they are going to be just slightly too wide to fit / drill into a switch blanking plate. I definitely need one that is no more than 16mm at its widest point.

Pack of spade connectors £4.05 from Toolstation. And fit perfectly onto switch terminals. Although I would recommend heat shrink tubing to provide insulation.

Looking to install a switch in the same place to switch head unit from starter battery leisure battery so it can be used when camping, what amp rated switch should i use for this as the only 16mm ones I can find are 3 amp

I'm not sure it's that simple. I think the radio also gets a signal from the bcm.
