You could try jaycar (www.jaycar.com.au) or drop Chris a line at Ozstick (www.ozstick.com.au).

Yeah, Jaycar's Website gives me a Headache.

Price in Jaycar 2004 Catalogue range from $7.30 - $9.90

Still not as sexy as the one you want.

...Alternatively. You could use or hack a USB Numeric Keypad like this:

They are easy to obtain in Oz

Tricky Dicky has the USB keypads for $29.95

or.... ALDI has usb remote controls for $25

You can attach it to the front of your cab with velcro... and have it as portable as well. It is full re programable and all.

i have thought about using the usb pads but i reckon it'd look like a jumble of parts where'as these keypads, though they require a bit more work, will look a lot better in the long run. and they're cheaper, and a new 'big' jaycar store has just opened up near me so ill go have a look there i reckon.
