[Mgs] MGA starter switch

[Stan Fickes]

I just replaced my switch with one from Scarborough Faire less than
two weeks ago. I can't speak about long-term quality but it has worked
at least a dozen times. $24.29.

I had shorted the battery line to the switch center pin which also
vaporized a section of the starter pull cable. An inexpensive bicycle
brake cable, cut with an oxy-acetylene torch and JB Welded into the
"S" knob did the trick nicely.

I know that the quality of these nowadays runs the gamut from crummy to awful, so can anyone suggest a source for an acceptable replacement?  Thanks!
