It is hard to say, but when I dropped my ignition key into the drink (don’t ask how), I replaced the ignition switch with “the cheapest” from our local chandlery. It is not that special. I think that the “special” thing is how you connect it.

Can people on this list suggest where to purchase a replacement switch? It has several positions: off, on, glow plugs only, start. The switch now doesn’t automatically remove power from the glow plugs when the key is released. The rest of the panel is still working well (temperature and RPM gauges) so I would rather replace just the switch. I have included a picture of the panel here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/txkent6abpwpdvm/PerkinsControlPanel.JPG?dl=0 Eric Frank Cat's Paw C&C 35 Mk II Mattapoisett, MA
