Suggestions on toggle switches...

I need to make a switch panel for my nitrous system and looking for some sleek toggle switches. Everything I have seen has looked ghetto and I mainly want something to look nice. I've got a polished aluminum plate done and just need the switches now. I need:
1 - nitrous
1 - heater
2 - fuel pumps
1 - line lock
1 - purge

I always like the timeless look of the 'fighter plane red covered toggles'
Thats my opinion.

I have a hurst line lock set up to another factory fog light switch in the dash. Everything works just like the factory fog light switch.

If I had it to do over again, I would go with this

I love the idea and you could then easily add other switches elsewhere as needed.
Phil, you could easiy replace the open switch with a fuel pump switch (on/off) or go with a nitrous & fuel pump on, using the arm switch.

These are very low-profile

Here is a panel I did for someone on the corvetteforum. Black Anodized AL engraved with the markings.

I got my final panel in the works, similiar to yours but instead of fuel pumps I have a big *** Bottle opener switch,

I bet your fuel pump switches would fit where the NX bottle opener switch fits in my new panel.

I've got those switches right now with a polished aluminum plate. I've got different colors for the different functions but not sure I like it yet.
Green is Nitrous
Yellow is heater
2 x Blue is fuel pumps
2 x black for purge and line lock.

How much would one of those panels run if I gave you the dimensions?

PM the dimensions and a rough layout and will render what they may look like.

Here is a render just guessing on the fuel pumps.

I got mine, just like Beer's, at Checkers IIRC for ~$2.99 ea. I am going to the lit stick toggle like Mitchell posted, or the newer lit stick AC covered switches. Not sure yet.

Anyone find a rotary switch, with OFF-A-B-A&B positions let me know.
