This may have been covered before however if it has, I can't find it.

I am aware of the switch dust caps available on ebay and would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on those.

What I am looking for is threaded dust caps for power lead output socket from battery and input socket on control box. Also threaded or push on caps for ends of the power lead.

I am sure others have been on the trail of these before and may have found a source Idea  or managed to cobble up something as a simple but effective fix. My current method for power lead ends is (not very special), small plastic bag and rubber band.

Thanks

Thanks guys for the replies.

Got the 13 mm rubber ones for lead and 16mm rubber ones for the battery and control box. Shortened them up a tad and perfect for the job.

Will hit up Jaycar for the Switch covers at first opportunity.

Many thanks again. Saved me a lot of time and trouble.
