I have been given quite a powerful Flymo and would like to use it without

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.

I bet if you have a look at the innards of the existing you should be
able to bodge a standard microswitch or something similar to do the
same job, possibly better than the original.
Think "engineer" rather than "consumer"... :-)
