100-4 panel light switch

From the looks of the hole layout, this is just s SPST slide switch with a squarish slide. But all the switches I can currently find have mounting holes center to center of about 1.1 inches. The holes, which I am sure are original, are 1.5 inches to center.

Anyone know a source for a larger than average slide switch? I can't find much online. Looked at all the normal sources.

Thanks

You are right about the switch, spst with a squarish slide, don't know a source for new, have you tried British Car Specialists or Healey Werks for orignal used?
 
Thanks and I will check those two.

I will add that it does look very much like a generic square slide switch, so much so that I didn't think what I had was stock/correct when I got my 100, so it may very well be possible to find a very passable substitue at an electrical supply store or online vendor.

Good Luck
