looking for miniature switch

Could someone suggest a firm in the UK where I might be able to purchase miniature rocker switches. They are going into a car dash panel so they should look acceptable, some need to be two way, hole cut out should be round, (trying to cut neat square holes would be difficult) and hole must be less than 20mm diameter - not enough clearance for 20mm. Rapid almost sell the right ones but the hole cuts are too large. Any ideas please.

Thanks

PS.. Unless somebody knows a clever way of making neat square holes in which case Rapid have the switches.

RadioSpares (RS Components) have a selection of rectangular hole cutters.

For info... many panel mounted switches have a flange to cover up the edge of the hole - so a badly cut square hole probably wouldn't be seen.

Thank you all for your help. I had already heard about the nibbler but thought it would be difficult to cut such small holes however RS seem to have the answer.

Thanks again
