Default Best Place to Get Backup Light Switch?

Hey folks.
Whats the best place to get the backup light switch? Rock Auto doesn't list it. Neither did Jerrys.
Thanks

I don?t know if Zip is the best, but I am happy with mine from them. If you are a veteran ask for their military discount too.

If I remember correctly I got mine from corvette central via their ebay store. Works well and much easier to install thanks to the extended wiring harness.

Zip, Ecklers and Corvette Central are out of stock. All coming in shortly, but today would be much better.

You might want to take out the current switch and clean it. Mine started working again after freeing up the ball and socket.

Or try to place a penny into the hole. My old switch worked well but the trigger point has move "into" the switch over the years. So the small engagement rod wouldn't push the ball far enough.
Just make sure you use a shim that's magnetic or can somehow else be removed once you have a replacement.
