I have seen these small, square 'Aerial cut off' switches for sale in the past on ebay. Hadn't seen one before or since. Currently thinking it would be useful for a little project I am working on. Any body here have one for sale?

If you have spare a rectangular fog light switch (single button) they also work a treat and fit right in the standard switch blanks above the radio.

Is this what you are talking about?

Do you mean the small square window cutout switch fitted to convertibles?

Surely one of the fraggers would have one? Phoned Brutus?

Oh maybe it’s that then! Silly me. Saw one advertised as that once and just assumed that’s what it was.

Thanks for this nugget of information!! It turns out I do have a spare one. I removed the latching clip to make it momentary and it may just do what I need it to do perfectly :D :D

I used the rectangular switch and placed in in a spare slot above the HU in the heater control panel.
