ST0580 red LED illuminated toggle switch - $3.95

PSO522 panel socket - for the other end of the above cable to plug into - $2.95
HB6015 Enclosure box - to mount the toggle switch & input cable panel socket - $4.95
Additional requirements are female crimp terminals to suit the above switch etc., a little bit of heatshrink tube, a couple of metres of twin core cable, some small black nylon zip ties and some solder splices - Narva #56380 ( I imagine Jaycar will have an equivalent for these)
I mounted the enclosure box with toggle switch and inlet plug on the scope side cover that carries the on/off mount drive switch/altitude lock wheel etc (at the opposite end to that switch). Be sure to leave enough power supply cable to the fans to allow mount travel from near horizontal to direct overhead. Use a little Velcro to attach it to the side cover just in case the cable does get entangled and tries to tear out of this box.
To mount the fans to the mirror cell see your local nut & bolt shop for the following-
12 x socket head cap screws M4 x 40mm long. Get them in 304 stainless steel if possible. Also 12 x M4 s/s flat washers to suit. This should cost you around $5.00 total.
Good Luck!!

Brilliant, thanks Graeme!
