Hi,I’m trying without any success to source a matching row of toggle switches for my classic car! Personally I’d prefer black paddle type but would settle for a row of any toggle switches ! I don’t need any illumination of these switches and I’d like them to all be at there upper position when off ! I need:- 4x Off/On ,2x Off/On/On, 1x Off/Momentary on, 1x Side lights/Headlights ! I have already tried 12volt planet/Green spark plug and Durite and others ????!!!!!

I have used MK 2 Jag / E type switches in my kit car,

I actually wired them up wrong but they are all off in the up position.

Do they actually need to be vehicle specific? Have had great success using non-automotive electrical components before:

Autosparks but I got all my Lucas toggle switches from eBay. Whether they're off when up or down is just down to how you fit them, although the spade connectors stick out at an angle so clearance can be an issue.

Scroll down this list to the ‘Butler’ switches. Do they work?
