Looking for under dash rocker panel, blank....

Cant't seem to find a source for blank panels for 3/4 inch round hole rocker switches for accessories. Extra lights inside the engine bay and interior. After my Lasik, low light acuity is not good. So I am going to install a couple extra LEDs to help an old man (yes, me).....I have the switches.

I could fab something up with thin sheet metal but a pre made panel would be preferable. 2-3 holes or 4-6 that I could cut in half.

They would hang under the dash. Any ideas or links appreciated.

What about the guy here that does resto work on switches? I bet he has some gear like that. Shipping would be pricey though, he is in Poland or something.

You'd have to enlarge the holes - maybe 1 of these would work. (Horrible Freight carries an inexpensive bit for sheet metal hole enlarging that would do the trick.)

Rack Panels with pre-punched holes - Full Compass

There are holes in the dash for factory style switches, and they use smaller holes. I wouldn't install under dash switches on a 911 because the dash is already so low. You might try a pull switch, or a 3 position pull switch maybe, in the dash?
