Funny thing about those switches. I can name four different companies that use the exact housing. One of the four makes switches for another distributor but the "other distributor" switch is inferior to the after market switch because the "other distributor" insists on a less expensive design schematic. So externally, all four switches appear to be the same when in fact there are fourcompletely different assemblies. There may be more than four vendors using that same case but I'm only personally aware of four.

The probelm in this thread is that everyone is going to look at the external appearence of their switches and if they look the same they are going to think they have a switch with a potential defect. You have JR, Cermark, Smart Fly, and MPI all using the same switch case-that I know of. There may be more.

The manufacturer needs to be identified for people to have a heads up.
