I have a 3 gang toggle switch where the toggles are closer together than normal. Most switches are about 1.5 inches apart, whereas these are about 5/8" apart. I need a new cover for it and can't figure out what it is called or where to find one.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Pictures might help. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/li...-pictures.html Is this line voltage or low voltage switching?

Welcome to the forums!
We'll need some more information to go on. Is this a triplex switch or three separate switches? What is the make and model stamped on it, or them? Can you post a picture of what you have? See How To Include Pictures.

From 5/8" to 1-1/2"? That's a 7/8" shift! 
BTW, I just measured a couple to be sure and yes, it is more than 1-1/2". Two devices in a 2-gang box are 1-13/16" apart, center-to-center.
