Default Steering column drop on/off switch

Mine is broken, snapped. Anyone know where I can get a new one? It seems like a pain to remove the old drop down and put on a new one. Does anyone sell just the switch for a 1938/1939?

Are you talking about the ignition switch lever on front of column drop, or the actual ignition switch box with contacts, that mounts behind the column drop with two screws?

Okay, so a lever was, and maybe still is being reproduced. It was available on eBay, and possibly here in our classifieds, although I have not personally seen them in recent times. Also, the one being reproduced was for column drops earlier than '38-'39, and may not work in your drop. Maybe someone else here will jump in and offer more information.
