Default Where can I buy those little caps?

I've planned my switch panel with a couple of spare holes and would like to know where I may find these neat little snap in caps shown on this Cessna panel. Any ideas?



Thanks,

Brian

Default Switch boots

How about here?

Edit: Doh, I didn't read carefully enough! I thought you were looking for the colored boots, not the hole plugs.

I was going to list a couple of places too, until I realized it was the "caps" for the spare holes.

Default close, but not...

Thanks, but I'm looking for the blank hole covers for when a switch or breaker is removed (or in my case yet to be filled). Not the toggle switch "boots".

Heyco, but you'll have to paint them to match.

The aircraft parts aisle at Ace Hardware or Home Depot should also have hole plugs in various sizes. Unfortunately, they are usually chromed or plastic, which presents some challenges when trying to put a durable finish on them.

I usually lightly sandblast parts like this to give the paint some "tooth" to bite onto.
