Need a Carling switch

I have a switch on my switch panel which has failed. I can buy the whole panel, but only need a switch.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to buy one on it's own?

Thanks

Do you have an image?

I have a few odd switches in the garage going spare but don't know who made them.

Failing that Farnell stock most of the Carling range

I assume your looking for a V series Carling, is it an off-on, with or without neon?

Carling switches have a code on them that will tell you the type.

EC Smith are then a good place to find. http://www.ecs-marine-equipment.co.uk/

It is on/off, no light, off the panel from a Ribcraft 200 model year, if that helps.

Thanks

I have used Axon Components in Leeds a couple of times. They seem to have quite a large selection of switches and some switch tops.

http://www.axoncomponents.com

If they do not have the switches you need, then I would recommend EC Smith, at http://www.ecs-marine-equipment.co.uk/

I'm gonna suggest to Ribshop that they start a new line of products for RIBnetters:

Thread Reviver - an answer to faded Threads

Thread Conditioner - a slightly caustic concluding comment that finishes the Thread nicely for years to come...

Martini's testing the Conditioner

Make sure you test it on a small inconspicuous area first...
