I am looking for a couple of items... well sources really :-)



I need a good supplier of 737 parts, a simpit friendly wrecker or
similar...

Second...I need to find a good substitute switch for 737NG MCP buttons..
I have been making buttons to fit onto push button switches for the sim
community here, but it is getting too labor intensive when I am giving
the things away! So I am looking for a replica or the real switch which
I can just buy and wire up.. I don't even have the actual part number,
so if anyone knows off the top of their head that would be great too...
I want to build the autopilot for my generic bizjet sim and can't bee
arsed making any more buttons :-)

Hi David... you wouldn't happen to have the part number of those
switches? If I can get the spec I can get my friendly electronics guy
to source a similar, but not "aircraft" spec ;-)

I have a full set of the OEM 737NG MCP switches, but I doubt the average
simbuilder is going to step up to the plate and pay what the OEM wants
per switch.

What, the ones I made, or the ones I want to replicate?

Yes. :)

BTW, I tried the free six pack gauge set and it's _really_ jerky. Any
ideas?
