I discovered that Bugsy II is missing the BE Pull Starter Switch. Conventional starter switch was substituted and hole for BE Starter Switch was covered over with vinyl. I know this is almost an unobtanium part but anyone got one that works they are willing to part with? Or know of a source for replacement part/knob.
 
I found an original on ebay. Moss has one and it works, but the knob is much different than original.
 
Moss part 331-630. Coupling 161-500.

 
Jim,
originals show up on eBay from time to time and that would be your best bet. If you want all original parts from knob to switch it will take a little longer.

FYI, ashley hilton in England has OEM Wiper and Heater knobs....the engraved one's NOT painted on letters as well as Wiper knob (sold elsewhere too)

I should have a couple of switch units but no cable assys.
Let me look and I will get back to you

Jim, I believe the Moss items are the MG small letter and screened on... The Aussie one's are engraved and large letter just not font spot on
 
Thanks Guys, Bill M has a couple of switches for me. Fabulous response and thanks for the information on knobs.
 
I think that I have spares of everything you need. I'll check later today.
 
Jim

You may have found what you need already. Just in case you haven't, here's what I have available. The switch is NOS from the mid 1970s. I reconditioned the cable and knob.

Ray,

Cable & Knob needed. $? Got switch coming already from Bill M
 
Your fair offer plus shipping on the cable. Is Bill providing the coupling or will you need that also?
 
Don't know yet Ray, he put it in the mail yesterday. I'll let you know. Give me a few days but interested.
