replacing manual glow plug switch
My manual glow plug switch is giving up. It is a push bottom. I was thinking I would like to go to a covered toggle switch. Any particular part numbers or specifics to look for?

I would not use any switch that was not momentary contact.
The spring loaded momentary contact switch can save your glow plugs from early failure because they were left on accidently.
I use a momentary contact toggle switch in mine.
I say this beacuse I was driving with my insulated coveralls on one day.
I bumped the switch with my coveralls turning the glow plugs on without even knowing it.
82 dollars for new glow plugs later I installed the momentary switch.
