Default Where to find Militray rocker switch covers?

I want to replace the rocker switch covers for my trim and tabs buit I dont know where to find them, I have tried searching on the web with no luck. I saw what I think is silver on a new Formula but I could be wrong, any ideas?

I've been working a a deal with Bennett who manufactures the switches for Formula. They sent me a few covers that were laying around the shop and were not acceptable for various reasons. I'm now trying to talk them into selling me an entire lot of the covers because you are probably only the 1,814 person who has been looking for them!! So far, no luck. These are covers they buy and assemble with other products to make the entire switch. Since it's not a seperate inventory item they "can't" sell them to me. Hopefully I can convince them to sell me an entire box of them....I'll contact them again next week.

BTW: The covers are different depending on the year Formula you have....my 98 had one style, my curent 02 has another.

I will see if I can get some pics. Are they the same switches with different covers? I was told by a shop that the rocker switches were all the same for trim/tabs with different covers. I would be willing to get new switches and covers if I can get silver covers.

Thanks

Are the switches the same with different covers? Do they make a silver or is that my mind going crazy again?
