W51 Instrument Panel Rocker Breakers I purchased many Tyco W51 Rocker Breakers for my instrument panel. They are made to be a switch, not just a breaker pretending to be a switch. They are illuminated and can handle 50vdc. Much to my chagrin, I've found that 12vdc is not enough to light the neon in the rockers that I have in stock. After a couple emails to Tyco (Potter Brumfield) I finally found out that I have the wrong model rocker. I tried to re-order the correct rocker model that lights for vdc current, but NO ONE sells them. So I am stuck with the unlit W51's or I have to change plans. The W51's snap into the instrument panel beautifully. They have 3 fast on .250 blade connectors on the back. I snapped the entire row of breakers in the panel just for ooooh and aaaaahs and then set my battery in to play. Also, to start getting an idea of how to organize the terminal strips (that I'm using as bus bars). I'm going to need a lot of room for terminal strips, and I'm trying to stay away from the area above the switches in the panel just in case I was to put instruments or a glove box in there.
