Need a Landing Light Split Rocker Switch

[Raptortail]

I didn't even see it happen, but apparently I broke off the bottom half of the left landing light rocker switch.  I've called all the usual suspects (Lasar, BAS, TX Air Salvage, Loren’s Mooney salvage, Wentworth, Dodson, Air Salvage of Dallas) but haven't been able to find one.  Does anyone have a lead on part # 880052-521?

That is aggravating, simplest stuff cannot be found, call Maxwell, he may know something, after that maybe find generic switch that carries the amperage, have engraved and fill the engraved letters with black epoxy, sand and clear coat

We had the alt field switch break the exact same way. I turned it off and now it won’t turn back on. On the hunt for a switch. Guess it will be right ALT only for a bit.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I just had the exact same issue (only BOTH switches broke… in the off position, grounding the plane, just my luck) and through LASAR I found exactly ONE (1) available at Mooney.

@AH-1 Cobra Pilot was making and selling rocker switch covers.  Not sure if he sill is or if he has that particular one or not.

I do, but I have never made any of the 1/2-width variety.

PM me if you are really, really wanting replacements.

The best way is to print one yourself on a 3-D Printer or hire someone to do it for you. You can google that information. I do not think that the rocker switch cover would need to be an FAA approved part. I have been toying the idea about buying the Burma Labs X-1C Carbon printer but it would take a while to get up to speed to custom make parts.
