yeh i was just going to say ive heard these guys are good to deal with.....http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/Carling_Switches.shtml

works out at about $13+ freight roughly per switch and then you've got to buy your labels which they list them as "legends"

Am about to put a order through for myself in about a month or two so let me know how you get on... or if you find them at a better price elsewhere....

Thet are just Carling switches. There are cheap copies around too. They are available in heaps of configurations to do with poles, throws and backlighting.
I fit heaps of them to boats.

There is a place in Auckland called Motortech, not too sure shipping down to the South Island shouldn't be too much.

Ended up buying them from that mud uk site,went and checked out that electrical place in in horby but they wanted $39 each +bulb + cover,had alook at getting them outta aussy but still worth good $$ and they weren't the same as what I was after.ordered 4 on/off ones 1 on/off/on and 1 one other one with stickers and a holder for switches was $141 including freight

Try www.otrattw.com

Jim can make custom ones as well. Great service. Freight to NZ is very reasonable.

I've just got my switches I ordered from Mudstuff, very happy with them.

Just wondering, anybody know if the lights in them can handle 24v.

According to the datasheet for Carling v-series contura II switches, the LED versions have resistors in them suitable for up to 24V. And according to mudstuff, they are selling ones fitted with LEDs.
