I'm thinking of skipping an EXPBUS installation and go with simple switches and fuses.

Where is a good place to buy simple rocker switches for a panel? Similar to the style you see on the EXPBUS2V

I got a nice set of very high quality switches, but they are upside down!

Up is off and down is on. The switch is labeld with text "ON" "OFF" instead of l,0

Not the lower end of the $$$$ scale, but Honeywell AML is a nice switch, and you can get them engraved as desired.

I bought my switches from Aerotronics http://www.aerotronics.com/experimental-aviation-avionics.html

And had them engraved at Aircraft Engravers http://www.engravers.net/aircraft/rocker_switches.htm

Good old Carling brand, aircraft-quality toggle switches from Steinair are a lot more affordable and much easier to install than rockers too!

Aveo 'RockRack' rocker switches (from Spruce) are beautiful, but pricey.

FWIW I used these, from Aircraft Spruce, in my panel:

This is what they look like once installed:

Allied have a sale on at the moment. Buy the switch then get an engraved rocker from engravers.net

Not compatable with VP-X?

I'm shopping for switches and was drawn to your post. Your switches ( and panel) look awesome. But, according to the Vertical Power installation manual, these 3-lug switches are NOT compatable with their setup, unfortunately. Just wanted to put that out there, as more, and more VP units are being installed.
