Where to find electrical parts - switches/circuit breakers

Postby Stephan van Tonder » Mon Aug 03, 2009 12:17 pm

Hi Guys - where in JHB(east rand preferably) do I find nice rocker switches and resetable circuit breakers suitable for aviation use. I am having no luck finding those kind of items.
2ndly - do you guys use a fuse in the starter line - if so - how big - motor is a 618 with standard e-box and starter - not sure what kind of current that starter can draw.

I know them very well. Have an account with them. If you can't find what you're looking for, RS Components is the very LAST place you go to. Chances are they will have what you want, but beware......they're moerse expensive! These guys and AE are in the same league :shock: :shock:
