I have been given quite a powerful Flymo and would like to use it without
forking out ten times what it's actually worth from the manufacturer to buy
a 'dead man's switch' for it.

Don't know what happened to the original.

I was expecting these 'see em on everything' switches would be available in
the shops as pattern items, but, after a couple of years keeping an eye out,
I've not seen anyone selling them.

Anyone know if there are pattern replacements or 'universals' anywhere?

Have you tried your local tip?
My local one nearly always has a Flymo or two..alongside the Dyson
cleaners.
Going price should be about a fiver.
