Switches

Looking for a few good sources online to purchase switches and other electronic goodies. Looking for some good high amp aircraft type toggle switched with the red covers. Also, looking for the same but momentary.

Any good places out there?

Re: Switches

i'm looking for something similar but can't find exactly what i'm looking for...even on ebay. i was thinking of making a switch panel like the ones in NASCAR where you have on/off flip switches for things like ignition, fans, etc and a momentary starter flip switch. can't seem to find a decent one anywhere and all the pre-made switch panels have a pushbutton start.

any ideas?

something like this:

Re: Switches

Punkdude...check Summit and Jegs for pre-fabed switch panels.

HCR13...thats not bad but I already have a place to mount them. Those are pretty cool though (minus the fake CF).

Re: Switches

As cheap as the panel is, why not buy it for the switches and toss the panel
