The switches arrived yesterday, along with the rest of the supplies. Purdy.

I found a handle:

Quote:
0.75" high. 0.187" diameter steel stock. Shiny dark gunmetal enamel finish. Threaded for 4-40 screws on 3" centers.
CAT# HDL-13 Price: $1.00 each
At the same place: www.allelectronics.com (tip, they have a special right now, where if you place an order of $25 or more, shipping is free: use promo code SHIPFREE).

And to top it all off, I think I found the connectors:

Quote:
Molex-type multi-pin connector with contacts on 0.198" grid spacing. Contacts are crimped onto wire and inserted into housings. Polarized male and female white nylon housings interlock with detent lock. Can be snap-mounted into chassis cutouts. Crimp pins accept 24-16 AWG wire. Includes 2 plugs and 2 receptacles, 8 male and 8 female crimp terminals.
CAT# CON-33 Price: $1.50 each

I'll add a grill, for the front door, to allow airflow.

[edit: if these contacts are the same as what I found for Molex/GC/Waldom in my Digikey catalog, the contacts are rated for 12 amps each. Exactly what I need.
