Default Locking Switches?

Anyone know of a source for locking switches? Ones with a safety to prevent accidental actuation? Thinking of doing elockers and want a way to prevent accidentally hitting the switches and locking both axles on the highway :O

Google: "toggle switch guard" and then go to images. There are all sorts of choices. Mostly used in aircrafts and auto racing.

You can usually pickup a cheap one at your local auto parts place in the electrical aisle.
