Default Suggestions on switches for Z275

Well, I am starting my winter projects and fixing alot of stuff on my 2001 Z275 limited. One of my projects is to replace all my switches due to the original ones being all faded out. The original switches are Carling V series Contura IV. They do not make these anymore so I was going to use the series II switch covers and keep the switch. Carling said that the covers are interchangeable. The problem I now have are that no one seems to have all the switches I need! The hardest ones are the switches for the seat and defogger. I hate to not replace any switches because I can't find these two! Any suggestions?

    Blue Seas Systems will make custom labels for the Contura series switches. Here is a link to them.

    Labels*—*Blue Sea Systems

    If you use the small square labels they will fit on the switch actuator. They may even make you a couple of custom actuators for you
    Just a thought.

    Occasionally you can find the Contura IV switches on ebay as well. They seem to have a bunch of white ones currently. I know these exist somewhere in bulk, as I remember seeing them...you may just have to search a little bit for them!

    Hopefully they turn up soon. I have accepted the fact that I will have to go with the Contura II switch. My chances of finding all 16 switches in Contura IV are a million to one I think. Right now I can't even find all 16 switches in the Contura II series. And I have seen a few white ones, but honestly I do not like the white ones. I have to have red!
