Can anyone tell me where I can buy 444 series rocker switches with the decals on the actuators, or even what brand they are. I am chasing several switches with different decals but cant find a local supplier. There are many diffent types out there but im after the 444 series to mount in the cutouts on the Oka dash.
Cheers Terry

Terry, this forum thread deviated into some discussion on rocker switches if it helps.

The switches in that thread are called Carling switches, same as ARB use for the air locker and compressor switch. Usually about $20-25 each.

Not quite as simple as that unfortunately Moose; from Carling's website: "Full-sized rocker switches have a mounting hole length of 1.450" (36.83mm) or greater. The most standard full-sized rocker switch mounting hole dimension is .830" x 1.45" (21.08mm x 36.83mm). Full-sized rocker switches with this dimension include V-Series Contura II & III, V-Series Contura IV & V, V-Series Contura X & XI, V-Series Contura XII, J-Series, TIL, TIG, TIH, TII-Series, LS-Series, LTIL-Series, LTIG-Series, and LTIH-Series.
The L-Series rocker switch is also full-sized with a mounting dimension of .867" x 1.734" (22mm x 44mm)."

Whether you get Carling or a copy, what you need is the 22mm x 44mm size for the OKA dash. I looked at four of the switches on the eBay link you provided, and three were the wrong size; the fourth didn't have a size on it.

This appears to be the Australian distributor Terry; and in the 22mm x 44mm size you have the choice of 444 series as we already have, or perhaps you'd like the swoopier 777 series.

I assume I found the original switch manufacturer - HELLA.
Please have a look at the Hella rocker switch series 4570. Brochure can be downloaded in english language from www.hella-russia.ru/pdf/Brochure_SwitchShop_Switch_221107.pdf
I found the switches online at Ebay Germany
The different symbols are availabe via www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_pppn=v3&_kw=Hell...e&_dmpt=DE_Autoteile
I just purchased some switches on www.dringenberg-shop.de/Wippschalter
I still have to see if the switches will fit - but I am confident.
