Default Mk1 ignition button

Folks,
I am trying to find a ignition buton for my Mk1 carrier dash. I have been able to round up most of the parts needed to complete a dash now, except for the ignition button, and a set of info. tags. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or has a extra one they want to part with. Any help with this request would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

Default dash plates

Hi Doug,
I saw a set of plates for the carrier dash on Dirk Leegwaters site under Armour category.I used a bus starter button for years until I found a carrier up in northern Manitoba in a swamp with the original starter button still in the dash.That is the only one I have come across since then.Maybe ask Dirk if you inquire about the dash plates if he has one or knows of something close you can use?
Derk.
