the phoenix has risen, ignition switch ideas???

[tezza]

after having killed it last week by sticking my fingers where they shouldnt go i have found the fault, its the ignition switch, it will turn the starter but not liven up the switched live side of things .so i hot wired it (misspent youth i hear you cry!!!) and it fired up first time! question is where can i get a new switch??? preferably brand new,thanks for help tezza.

GSF (German Swedish French) loads around, the new switches cost just under £9.00.
Steering wheel off
Plastic column cowling off
Switch gear off
Sheer bolt for ingnition colar (might need to knock this around with a chisel if it is still the original bolt)
Put the key in, pull the sleaved surround off with the barrel/ingnition intact to reveal the single retaining screw.
swap
Reverse
