Default CSX dash toggle switches

Does anyone know where to source the CSX-style toggle switches (for the 427 S/C cars)? They appear to lay more flat against the dash, off in down position and it's tough trying to find the right supplier. Does anyone know who Shelby uses today for this?

If you want the fluted knobs, ERA will probably sell them to you Options list
You might just ask Bob if he'll sell you the switches too. They have all that stuff made to exactly match the original stuff, but it's higher quality.

I got one for CSX4005LA directly from Shelby. Yes, it was a Lucas switch.

Yes that's Lucas stuff. I'm told the Lucas switches made in a country that's not England isn't really up to snuff.

Are the SPF toggle switches noticably different than the Shelby toggle switches?

I think they're the same as the CSX ones they're made side by. SPF has some really good deals on things like a dimmer switch yet other switches like headlight or directional are twice or three times the price. Here's another place to shop and compare.

This place has lots of the correct switches, dash lights, dimmers etc.
I'm not sure how the prices compare though.

They don't seem to have a lot of toggle type switches. You can switch to USD on the top right to compare $. They have shipped stuff to me faster than some US companies so don't worry about them being overseas, good people to deal with.
