Default Good place to buy switches?

Well, after adding a bottle heater and a purge, I've officially run out of places to put switches. hehe. I'm wanting to make a custom switch panel that will fit in my ash tray. I've seen small black rocker switches with a little white dot on the "on" side that are not illuminated. Does anyone know where I can buy these? I've checked Radio Shack and they don't have anything. I'd also like to get a couple 2-wire LED's that are easily mountable to a thin plastic plate (i.e. the switch panel).

Thanks in advance guys.

I've looked all around your site and can't find what I'm looking for. The switch I'm thinking of looks like this:

Any ideas? Thanks!

If you want something that's quality try Longacre Racing Products. Here's their website: www.longacreracing.com

You get what you pay for in electrical components.

I bought a Jimmy-Jams setup, and it's first class. Well built, powder coated, excellent switches. He even does the base wiring on it.

I guess I got ALLOT more then what I paid for. I have seen some pretty cheesy crap offered from other large companies, for twice as much.
