I'm looking for another red power switch similar to the red split rocker 

Cessna type switch for my Aux battery power. Also I haven't been able to 

find the wide white rocker engraved switches,as seen in the Gulf Coast 

Avionics catalog. Anybody have any ideas, and yess I've Googled for 

them, to confusing, with all the choices. Help would be appreciated!

     Carling used to make the split rocker for Cessna in a

     style that matched all the other switches used on the

     panel. I don't know if that was consistent throughout the

     history of rockers on Cessnas products nor do I know

     what they're using today.



     Going with rocker switches on your project invariably locks

     you down to the single supplier who offers that switch and

     the style may not be available in all the popular switching

     functions.



     Places to begin looking include the Carling site at:



http://rocker-switches.carlingtech.com/index.asp#Full-Sized%20Rocker%20Switches



     Honeywell

     NKK



http://www.nkkswitches.com/



     Eaton/Cuttler-Hammer



http://commercialcontrols.eaton.com/VCBU/catalog/index.html



     ITT-Cannon



http://www.ittcannon.com/products/products.asp?pid=1027&cf=pl



    etc.



    These listings just scratch the surface of the range

    of styles and functionality of rocker switches. Once you've

    identified the manufacturer of choice, you need to locate

    inventory for sale. Due to the huge variability of products

    by even a single manufacturer, it's unlikely that you'll find

    anyone who stocks the full range of any particular product.



    This is why I've advised builders to consider purchasing and

    properly storing a complete set of spare rocker switches for

    their project . . . especially if one selects switches from

    a relatively low-profile manufacturer. This is a hedge against

    style changes and/or changes of stocking distributors ideas of

    what they want to keep on the shelves.



    Good luck!
