My switch fell apart at the pivot point of the lever. This switch is located under the top of the gas pedal. I think getting a replacement is almost impossible. Even if I find one it will probably break at the pivot ear/loops. Maybe some after market similar switches will work. If there is a NOS part out there that has not been used, it might be strong enough. Any other ideas?

No drop-in, but searching for a micro switch, you may find one you can adapt, like these:

Yes....I have found one far in the past that virtually drops in. Later tonight I will pull some basic measurements from the pictures....height , width, hole spacing and lever length with pin locations.....and it needs to have some degree of weather sealing in its location.

There are numerous sites where you can plug in the specs and get lots of choices. Ray
