For those who are not electronically challenged: I'm going to eith make a switch panel for accessories or buy one. I can do the wiring not problem but I need to know what kind of switches for the application. So, heres my question, for each of these applications, do I need a spst (single pole single throw), dpdt(double pole double throw) or any kind of mixture of either of these:
1. Hi-low fan switch with off being in the center.
2. N2O arming switch
3. Remote bottle opener
4. Purge valve
5. Bottle heater.
And, before it's asked, I don't particularly care for the nx switches, that's why I'm looking at other options.
Thanks

1. SPDT Middle is off, up or down would be high or low.
2. SPST Its just OFF or ON.
3. SPST
4. Momentary toggle or pushbutton. Whatever u think matches better or looks cooler.
5. SPST
Remembor, all of these switches need to work relays. They can't support the high current that will be drawn by your equipment. If u need help with relay wiring, just let me know. I'll help ya out.

Sure, give me a day or 2 and I will make a write up and drawing on how to use relays for u and some others that might come across this. You can get 30 amp relays at an auto parts store or Radio Shack. You might only see 20 amp relays, just look a little more for the 30's. If ya can't find any, let me know, I have some in stock.
