Buried up somewhere, possibly, Bob are a few switches but I think they may be too modern for the Blitz or Carrier.

Any chance you can post a photo of an example, or lead me to a thread where they are shown? I will try and hunt them out in the meantime.

Hi Bob - the shaft length and end ball look really close for Oz Carriers. The only difference is the connection end, ours have a rectangular block with the connections coming out of it. What is the travel of the shaft, half way or right through? It is interesting they are a Chev Brand switch. And finally the cost and supplier or did you buy him out?

I've attached an image showing firstly an RBM Brand switch that comes from a Ford Blitz Cab 12 with the second switch out of our C60S. I did have a Carrier switch but currently MIA.

Stewart Loy found someone (not sure who) that had modern toggle switches that outwardly looked like the orginals. They have the same short little toggle with a ball on the end. I bought 3 from him for my UC to replace the normal ones that Cnd Tire sells. I think they came out of some kind of industrial fan but am not sure. They are rated for somthing like 200amps. The only downside to them was that they had wires coming out of the back. There were no screw terminals, therefore you would need to hard wire your connection or make up some other kind of connection.

I will try to get a picture of them Sunday so you can all see just how close these are.
