Default Looking for special SPDT switches

I'm looking for 2 SPDT toggle or battery switches. The switches'
parameters:

24v
85 Amp
Break before Make

The switches will reverse current to a motor. I don't want to use
relays, solenoids or contactors - I want a mechanical switch.

The two switches will provide Forward, Reverse and a third option where
the motor leads are shorted together to provide resistance to rotation
- braking.

I could use a standard battery switch except the battery switch
provides a fourth option that connects both "throws" to the single
"pole". The intention here is to connect two batteries together, but in
my situation this would be catastrophic.

A household 3 way switch is basically a SPDT switch rated 15 Amp at
120v. I don't know if this rating is sufficient for 85 Amps at 24v but
I suspect not.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mike
