Title: Where to get some Electrical Stuff
Post by: Waytec on April 23, 2008, 11:19:22 PM: I need to get some electrical stuff for the jeep.
I need some switches ( black ones with a LED in the end for when it is on, and a Missile switch) and a 12v power interrupter for the winch that is in the very near future. I went to PA and got all the wire and some switches but I don't like them all that much. I went to NAPA and they wanted 20 plus for the ones I liked.
I gust asking to see what other places pepole have had luck with.

B&E will have what you need plus some...Fairly resonable for prices as they are an electronics supplier for most electronic needs...
