Theres a difference between finding a switch, and finding the right switch. No need for you to come in here flexing your google search muscles...and if you even looked through Mcmaster you would see they do not sell exactly what Im looking for.

This is my current setup, the far right is for the cutout. I'd like to find a round dpdt rocker switch to match the other 2 I have. Ive spent some time looking for one and only come up with spdt round rocker switches.

I think it's this same switch; it's used for the bottle opener, so i'm assuming it's a dpdt...

my cutout is wired to the "soft top" switch in the dash. it has ttops so its not used and looks completely factory with no cutting of the dash.

Mine has a wireless key fob system. The receiver is under the passenger seat. I considered running a manual switch but just stayed with the wireless system it came with. I didn't think it would work that well but I was very impressed. I know I can close it from my front door which is a nice ways from the car.

I use the one that came with the McCord. But Digi-Key
has a whole mess of suitable switches. You need a DPDT
momentary center-off type and I'd look for at least a
5A rating just for luck.

I have decided to go with the DHM because its adjustable and I can rotate it so it doesn't hang down. I am selling my 4 in QTP e-cutout if anyone is interested shoot me a PM.

I got my switch from DMH finally this week. I decided to get their cutout too because it can be rotated unlike the QTP.
