His switch may be differnt and might not be numbered and may run i a different order, Thats what confused me, These were the only DPDT switch's they had which looked slightly different to others and like what heckler is using, I just want to be sure before it is plugged in.

[heckler]

the numbering is irelivent, all DPDT switches are configured the same inside, so just wire it up as in the pic ad it will work, or if your not sure, use a multimeter to check the switc operation
