Source for Replacement Rocker Switches with Labels

I would like to replace the rocker switches on out 1995 U320 with new ones. I would like to have them labeled in the same manner as our existing switches (such as "Retarder," "Docking," etc.). One would think that the Foretravel factory would be the obvious first choice to call or e-mail, but various reports here indicate that's not likely the case for a Motorcade member who hasn't paid the additional premium for the privilege of speaking to someone at the factory. (In fact, there are some indications that ordering parts could be a frustrating experience even if one has paid the additional premium.)

Any recommendations?

What's the best number to use to call their parts department?

Just dial the main FT number-1-800-955-6226 and wait for the parts number-I think it's 3 if I recall correctly.

We just got some for the side panel.  The switches are all the same.  They have a lot of different color, different labeled snap in inserts for the labels.  Maybe these are all you need.

Please elaborate Roger... Are the switches you got from Foretravel, or did find another source (Amazon?) that fits the snap in opening on the side panel?
Thanks, Don

Switches were the same switches that are used in other spots on the left hand driver's side panel.  Some of those are on/off like the docking light switches, some are two way momentary swithced like the door locks.  They are bigger switches that have a light built in.  The side of the switch with the bulb has a snap in colored piece. These can be blank or have printed labels.

Got them at the parts counter at FOT.  I got a blank insert. I used the switch to cut power to my aux ait pump.  About $16 if I recall.
