Suppose that was why I couldn't find one ... and I can say, I did look fairly hard !!!

Sorry guys - I'm not up on the terminology ... I actually meant the front piece with the switch on it ... I have to admit I didn't think about the idea of a double back and using two singles on the front. One as a blank. I was actually looking for a single cooker switch in a double...
