Toggle switch caps

Postby chris p » Mon Mar 15, 2010 7:28 pm

You know those little coloured PVC caps that slide over the end of toggle switches - think of the little gold bit on a Gibson pickup selector switch - I'm after about 30 of them in blue, but can only find them for like $1.50 each!!! For a tiny bit of plastic? I thought I'd be able to buy a bag of 100 for like $10.

Am I looking at the wrong stores, or am I on the wrong planet?

Miniture toggles like this one http://www.electusdistribution.com.au/productView.asp?ID=4261 - NOT subminiture

Err, yes, but I already have the toggle switches themselves - I'm just looking to spruce them up with the coloured end bits. I *did* try an ebay search but most of the results were for overpriced guitar brands.
