    I just got an email from Tim at TundraPart.com. His website is being moved to another provider, and he says it will be a couple of weeks until it will be back up. He still has the switches, so no worries.

    You can fit OTRATTW switches there too. Just need to trim the bottom of the opening to the height of the switch.

    If it's going below the AC controls, I just trimmed the bottom IIRC.

    I'm not sure what you consider "a lot" is but it's enough that the original size switch or blank will not be able to be re-installed.

    I only removed that to splice into the illumination wire from the ac controls. After that, I only removed the blanks and "fished" my wires through those holes. It's a lot easier if you have a couple blanks open next to each other.
