Suggestions on Switches
As part of my motor swap and going from TPI to carb I'm gonna be placing a switch panel above the radio in my IROC.
I'm looking to have the fuel pump, fans, lights, a nitrous arming switch, etc on the panel.
I want to run a switch for each fan, but I want to run On/On (Auto, the second on will leave the fans at the mercy of the relays, while the first will be on while the ignition is on) for the cooling fans.
I'm looking for a quality set of switches. Square/rectangle rocker switches, in black, with red LEDs.
I'll need On-Offs, On-Ons, On-On-Offs (or On-Off-Ons), and a momentary On-Off.
A couple of push-button momentaries (one for nitrous activation, another for push-button start, maybe) would also be good.
Any suggestions would be awesome. I was looking at some Painless switches on Summit, but if anyone has anything better I'll take a look.

Re: Suggestions on Switches
As was said Radio Shack has a nice selection of rocker switches and more.
Here’s there site. If you can’t find it here they probably don't make it.

I read your post and think you said all switches will be on relays.
Right ?

And no, the only switches that will be run to relays will be the switches for the fans, and that's so I can either turn them on when I want to, or let the temperature switches do it.
