<DIV></DIV>>We all want them, but we just can't find them (at least at a price we want
<DIV></DIV>>to pay).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Made my own military style toggle switch tonight. Used my new lathe to make
<DIV></DIV>>the aluminum bat style handle that you see in the picture (oh, the panel is
<DIV></DIV>>the MISC panel I made a few weeks ago).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>The new handle has a hole in the center and is simply epoxied to the
<DIV></DIV>>standard toggle switch handle (Radio Shack).
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>For my next magical act I will add the pull-to-unlock feature to a toggle
<DIV></DIV>>switch.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Again, using my lathe I will modify a standard full-sized toggle for a lock.
<DIV></DIV>>There appear to be a few different styles of locks for two-position and
<DIV></DIV>>three-position switches. Once I know how many of each I need I can make
<DIV></DIV>>what I need. Should add that finishing touch to the cockpit
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Oh, there is another style of toggle bat handle that I haven't made yet, but
<DIV></DIV>>either style can be made on the lathe.
