You can still buy the original fuel cutoff switch that was supplied with 
the TR-5 and TR-6 PI from TRF and Rimmer (I think Moss sells a modern 
generic switch which is probably better if originality isn't important). 
The Roadster Factory even had the original firewall mounting clips in stock 
during the Summer Party.

Note that my first switch of this type melted in the ON position. I had a 
low resistance short somewhere in the wiring to my Bosch fuel pump and it 
was enough to fry the switch without blowing the fuse. Obviously I should 
have used a smaller fuse but I needed to get the car home to fix the 
problem and the little ones kept blowing. ;{) (duh).
