| Post subject: | Switches needed, ideas? |
I am looking for some rocker switches. Any ideas on where to look for them? I've already looked at honeywell's line, GE, Hella, Tyco, and Terminal Supply. Not finding exactly what I want, which is: 1) Illumination when switched 2) good looking 3) SPDT (single pole double throw) 4) both 2 position (ON-OFF) and 3 position (ON-OFF-ON) maintained 5) mount via a round hole like HELLA's, and not snap in that require a rectangular hole I searched for a couple hours today and didn't find exactly what I wanted, so I thought maybe some of you would have recommendations of vendors for me to check out. Thanks! |

Thanks! Did a quick run through "search" and found: Try this thread or this thread that references OTTATTW. Try this thread that references Carling Switches. Hope this helps. |

Great info, thanks. I had discounted the Carlling switches because they were panel mount in rectangular holes, but I'm just not finding round hole switches that will do what I want them to do. It looks like I'll have to make or buy a panel. |

Nice. I actually saw some there that I'll use if the ones I ordered last night don't work out. I decided to compromise on my circuit complication and just use ON/OFF SPDT switches, adding some relays to replace the 2nd set of poles, and just did away with the 2nd off function. |

Look for aircraft parts and see if you can get something there. Maybe you can get a complete panel and pull the lights from there. |

Try Eaton vehicle rocker switches from Allied Electronics. They fit perfectly on the trim on each side of the steering wheel. They're a bit expensive but look very nice and they also need a connector so if you want, you disconnect the whole switch, not one contact at a time. I used 3 of those in my libby and works great. |
