sagamore Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Bart, Take a look at these from Holden (link) if you are looking for the Lucas type switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I like APEM switches and use both their small push buttons and toggles in my cars. They are available from most of the major electronic supply houses (e.g. Mouser, Newark, Online Components, Digi-Key) as well as Caterham (for the 620 dash) and Car Builder Solutions. The toggles can be configured in a number of ways using this data sheet to generate the corresponding part number, or you can simply go to either Caterham's or Car Builder Solutions' site and grab the part number from the photos. This is the failsafe if you are looking for toggles for specific, common functions like starter, turn signal, or headlights, and aren't comfortable choosing between the datasheet options. I've found that availability and price can vary between the supply houses, so it's good to check all of them once you know the part numbers you want. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastg Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Plenty of choice. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/keywordsearch.asp?KeywordStart=toggle+switch&KeywordButton=Go Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Cole Hersee for traditional toggles. Made for commercial vehicles. I like Carling for modern rockers that are often oem in hi-end boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbcollier Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I use toggle switches that are like the ones used by Lotus in period. Cole Hersee 59024 series fit the bill for me. They are HD, metal switches with high amp ratings and available in a variety of configurations. They use the smaller 15/32 x 32 thread size (same as Lotus) rather than the larger Lucas size. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I like Cole Hersee switches. Like MV8 said they are made for the commercial market. You might have to hunt around for a particular switch. I wanted an off-on-on switch. It took some time, but they make it. There are lots of off-on-off switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das76 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 They are probably all made in Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
