Convertible top switch

Looking to replace my convertible top switch on my 71 Cutlass, who out there makes the best and correct switch?

If the switch is not physically broken, it can be disassembled, the contacts polished up, and reassembled with little difficulty. I have a thread on the procedure somewhere around here...
Here is one of them... https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...tml#post290285
And another:

While disassembly is different, contact repair is the same.

My switch still works, but it must have a broken spring, it just rocks up and down with no tension

Take it apart and see what kinda spring you need.
Some mom n pop hardware stores sell springs. Any salvage and junk stores around that sell springs? There is one local place here that sells hundreds of kinds. If you can tell me the precise dimensions I can see if that place has em.
