Hi plasma people. I originally bought a file from Fred Nelson Fabrication for this but it turns out your light switches are a little different than ours in NZ.
So I made them from a bit of trial and error.
You place them over your existing light switch for a bit if an Industrial Steampunk look.
Fully functional.

Re: Steampunk Light Switches
I keep eyeballing that cut file from Fred Nelson. I want to cut out a set of those for our shop light switches.

Larry great switch covers, love steam punk, just remember the reason most switches and cover plates are plastic is they don't conduct electricity.

Re: Steampunk Light Switches
Hi Craig. Thanks and yes these are designed to go over the existing plastic so no chance of electric shock. The lever just moves the original switch as your finger would, that's why I have two 3mm gaskets to slide over the whole switchCraig wrote:Larry great switch covers, love steam punk, just remember the reason most switches and cover plates are plastic is they don't conduct electricity.
