Aircraft switches?

Where can i get some arming switches for an aircraft?

you know what im talking about? the switches with a red cover on it, that you flip up to get to a toggle switch.

anyone know where i can get some of those? i need a few for some projects im working on, and im thinkin about doing some lighting, but need the switches protected because they will be in the armrest console, and i dont want them accidentally getting flipped.

it would help if it had something in there to shut the switch off when you close the cover, but if it doesnt, then i can always make that with a peice of aluminum and some glue.

thanks!!!

::edit:: lighted would be good too, but if they arent, then i will wire up a LED that only turns on when the cover is open (how would i do that by the way?). thanks ::/edit::

I've been wondering the same thing man. I think they would look bad a$$ for some fog light switches or any other switch for that matter. If anyone out there knows anything let us know.

sweet, i'll have to order one of those, and get some LED's and work out a light or something, probabally red so it'll look tight

hmm, the Baker site has a good point with the O-Rings, good thing ive got mad ammounts of Mag-lites around with o-rings that are the right size.

hmm, what (besides fog's) could i use these switches for?

You can also look in catalogs like Wag Aero, it's a parts catalog for pilots, that where I found some a long time ago I was going to use, but didnt. You might try McMaster.com a very cool website.
