Hi All,
That's great guys, that's more than enough interest to make it worth while getting them made. I'll post a pic when the free sample arrives, I am told they are 13mm in length, (1/2") and 6mm bore. My standard toggle switches are 5mm diameter so they might need glueing on, I'll let you know what they are like soon. I did find some more on the net but they were the same price as FDS and as a Gibson guitar accessory they are over $3.00 each - what a rip off!
Nic, the landing light covers can be bought at that historical society that sells yokes but they aren't cheap, BSW knows the www. I'm going to make my own replicas soon out of aluminium bar and LEDs, I'll probably lock the 4 landing light switches together with a one piece arrangement.

Hi Guys,
Today I received a few free samples from the company who makes the caps. As mentioned before the available size is 6mm x 13mm, my switches are all 5mm which means the caps are a little loose. I applied a small amount of silastic inside the cap and pushed it on, within minutes it was set and stuck firmly. They work fine and look the part, I think the price is right!
I am ordering 1000 caps tomorrow and will announce their availability when they arrive at my home. As mentioned previously I will offer a packet of 70 caps for US$15.00 plus postage to anywhere. There will be 14 sets available initially.

They look great Gwyn.
I'll definately take a set from you. If there are enough left I'll actually take an additional set for a mate of mine too.
Just let me know how many I can have and how you want the funds sent.
cheers

Hi guys,
To all of you here who have expressed interest in these caps so far, I have reserved sets for you and sent you all private messages. I estimate availability at the end of May.
9 sets gone, only 5 more left, I will keep updating availability.
Thank you all for your orders!

You can also use the white toggle caps I use in my overhead. They come with a little "filler-cap" thingy that fits on regular mini toggles.
Gary linked to my site:

If you look under "switches", you can barely see the "filler-cap" inside one of the long caps.
So you can use FlyEngravity if you want.
