Switch labels

[AlexJet]

I'm making a switch panel for my Runner, but having a hard time finding any source of labels for the switches. Those going to be rocker and toggle switches and I was thinking of some stick-on labels I can put beside the switch to indicate its function.

Reading August edition of FourWheeler, I found on p.84 under "Project Long-Range Clunker" that they used Carlington switches with Maxbuilt labels. Looking at the images, thats kind of labels I'm looking for. Unfortunately I can't find neither of those 2 companies on the Web and in any on-line retailers.

Does anyone knows where I can get either those labels or any other companies labels I can use for my application?

really nice guy and lots of options on switch labels.


The first picture look like some marine switches that are available at overtons (boat supply). Or westmarine (boat supply). Hope this helps.

I have the OTRATTW and they are great. I think Alex has seen mine in person.

What about labels only? I have a few blank switches in my garage.

Use one of these:

...then cut label to shape. I used one to make labels for my Blue Sea Systems fuse block instead of paying a ridiculous amount for their pre-made sheets of stickers.

Good for wording, but what about symbols?

There's a thread in the fireside chat section ,"What did you do to your overland vehicle today" sorry, no good with the link. Scott used some cool stickers from http://www.mudstuff.com.uk?

They're pretty cool labels and there's numerous symbols.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Downside is that they are in Britain. Do we have anyone in North America doing such labels?

I think you mean Carling switches not Carlington http://rocker-switches.carlingtech.com/sealed-rocker-switch__26.asp

All the symbols they can make are on that page http://www.carlingtech.com/pdf/vl_serswitlegends.pdf

Places like digikey and mouser you can order them.
