Hi there,

I have noticed a few RV panels with a grey flat lever type flap switch (similar to the flap switch in a Diamond) and would love to get my hands on one. I can't easily determine if its just a cover for a regular toggle switch you can buy at Vans, or if it comes as a complete unit.

Does anyone know where I could get such a switch or switch cover?

Thanks,
Hugh.

Most I have seen, and mine, are home made. Take a piece of bar stock, drill a hole for the toggle. Drill a couple holes in the sides/ends and thread for set screws. Now spend some quality time with the belt sander and files. Buff if so inclined. Slide over toggle and tighten set screws.

I see. Thanks for the info.

I'm aware of two sources if you're not inclined to make your own. Avionics Hangar has a momentary down/on up flap switch for $89.00.

Gulf Coast also carries a similar switch for the same price.

I installed the Gulf Coast switch and do prefer the "on up" feature as oppossed to Van's switch which was momentary up and down.
