After a couple of hours I have a passable replica which looks the part till I can find an sensibly priced original.
That looks excellent and is exactly what I was hoping to achieve.
Would you be able to give a few more details of how you did it? Unfortunately, although I was in engineering throughout my working life, I now don't have any access to machine tools so I need to come up with a design which looks OK but doesn't require much in the way of machining. I was thinking of mounting the classic mini switch on a bracket fixed to the transmission tunnel and then fabricating some sort of shroud for the button. Is this basically what you did?
