Autopilot disconnect

[aturner]

Does anyone know where one could source the slick panel mounted autopilot disconnect switch used on the RV-12 (and the -14 prototype)? Vans support didn't seem to know what I was asking, and then told me it was a Dynon product, but I am doubting that answer. Vans part number WH-RV12-APDC

Sometimes it depends on who you talk with at Van's. You could try one more time.
SteinAir might be able to help.
Here are similar switchs, but slightly larger in diameter. The mounting hole will most likely have to be enlarged.

If the picture of the 12 panel that I have seen has the A/P Disconnect switch beside the throttle it looks like the same switch I used from my local Radio Shack. Approx a 1/4" dia. red push button.

My first switch was defective out of the box. Made a call to Van's and they sent me a new one 18 months ago.
