I'd be really surprised if you find all those parts. Typically, if something in the switchgear is going to be lost, broken or melted, it will be all those small, fragile buttons, switches , screws and springs, not the metal housing. I suspect the solution will be to replace the entire assembly. Used ones can be found, but they will be old and may need some attention before they are usable and reliable. Of course newer assembly could be adapted, but will not match the original design.
Good luck.

Please don't consider this a "smart remark :unsure: " but it would help a bunch if you identified what bike you have. It's easy to add the year & model to your signature line then you don't need to add that info with every posting. Ed

I have a solution for you but it wont look stock. I used a switch that I got at Radio shack. Works great and has been in all kinds of weather. I did have to modify the hand control to accept it. The whole was the right size but I had to drill out below it to to clearance for the connectors. I don't have a stock bike so it doesn't matter to me.

Thanks for the link. By any chance have you ordered from them? If so, any comments, such as shipping time & cost? Thanks again. :)
