If it's any help, you CAN actually take those switches apart and re-assemble them, and make them live again.
You need to drill out the 3 rivets to break them open (one is the toggle pivot, two holding the switch body together). I replaced these with long thin bolts and nuts (and loctite). Beware, because the switch contains 5,000,000 microscopic components under spring pressure (slight exageration, but you get the picture).
It is VERY fiddly to get it all back together, but you can do it.
The trick is to have the toggle (or more accurately, the thing the toggle acts on) in the central position, with the two actuators touching each other. then lower this verrrrrry slowly into the switch body, teasing the two actuators apart with the central separator of the switch body. This makes perfect sense once you've taken it apart.
I can figure out the switches internal connections if you need me to.
Dan.
