Advice needed on plunger door switch

[spyzee]

Over the years the little plunger switch in the door jamb that operates the interior light has finally worn a hole in the door frame. I am looking for the best way to repair this. I could just fill the the hole, I could fit a piece of aluminium as a strike plate. Is there a replacement plastic switch type that could be used. I'm not too precious about original equipment so am interested in what others have done?

many thanks,
Colin

I've fitted a couple of chrome blanking plugs to act as striker plates for the switches...

P.S. can you delete the other post?

One for the interior light ,one for the "you've left your lights on,idiot"

I attached small stainless steel plates with self-tapping screws. I must say that John's approach with the metal blanking plugs is quite elegant.

I have to agree, it is indeed an elegant solution, and I will do something very similar.

Are the +2 switches more aggressive than the 2 seater ones then? Wearing a hole in the door where the switch hits isn't something I've ever had a problem with. A couple of years ago though, when I replaced the door switches, I used some little plastic caps to go over the end of the plungers - mainly to adjust the contact point but the paint on the door is still there.
