Default Need a switch

I'm looking for those safty covers that you see on airplanes, or other vehicles. They are usually red, and you have to flip the cover up before you can operate the switch. I looked for them a couple months ago but I couldnt find them. Anyone know where I can purchase these?

Thanks a bunch

I am sure if you can find an "aircraft junkyard" you may find them by the dozen for a buck

If you check out the computer modding websites you may find one cheaper, they are popular with case modders.

Here is one link: http://www.directron.com/ec399.html

At least you get a switch for the 12 bucks!

Like mentioned above, a surplus place is likely the best ( cheapest ) bet.
