Default White Power Seat / Foot Rest Switches

Without thinking I bought a white replacement bolster seat switch for my 99 382 instead of the black one .

Unfortunately the white one looks a lot better than the other 3 black ones so I would like to replace them all. The problem, aside from the $30.00 ea. for the switch is that the White switch will not fit in the black bezel.

I have a manufacturing business and can easily make a bezel that will fit the original mounting holes but I need some demand to amortize the tooling price, and to get the switches for a reasonable cost.

If anyone would like to join me in this project let me know and I will see what I can put together.

The black switch snaped into in a 2 1/8 X 2" black plastic square with 4 mounting holes . The white switch is larger and will not fit into the same piece. If you are telling me that Formula already has a white plastic square with the same mounting holes then I am wasting my time trying to reinvent the wheel.

no, Magifloat got 'em for me from Formula and I never installed them. I've grown to like the surface mounted ones.

McLeod will sell the switches direct but it looks like Rippem hooked you up.

I am missing something here. What surface mounted ones? Are not these mounted like the black ones? If the mounting holes are the same I would be glad to take them off your hands

there have been two "styles" of switch offered in the Mcleods.

A "surface" mount (stock in my '02) where the rocker switch itself teeter-totters above the bezel plane...

and these later style ('04 -up) "flush" rockers where nothing is above the plane of the bezel.
