Need a 1928 ignition switch and gas pedal

My gas pedal was broken and a previous owner spliced a sleeve on the shaft and half of the foot end was broken off. Need a new one. Anybody have any spares? I also need to find an ignition switch with a bezel to match the original. Anyone know which of the aftermarket switches match? I plan to use a separate coil under the dash so I do not want the original combined switch/coil unit but the bezel might work with an aftermarket switch.

Any close up photos of the original bezel somewhere? I can't see much detail in the 28 owners manual but there are some switches on ebay with smooth bezels that might be a possibility.

Several of the cast gas pedals have been in reproduction on and off for a very long time but a picture of yours would be helpful.

Can anyone post a close-up photo of an original ignition switch? It would help me considerably in locating a repro close to the original.

I just got in at 5 am this morning with mine and it is raining. I will be unloading my 28 5-26 in the next day or two. When I pull it out of the hauler I will take some pics.

It is a standard chrome, external screw on bezel prox 3/16 thick. Switch it self is brass and extends when the key is turned to engage the mags.

Mags? As in magnetos? Mags (plural)? How about engage the coil?

Don't need under the dash. Just approx how much does it stick out the front off the panel. There are some modern switches like he is looking for with bezels that look like plain chromed bar stock with squared or slightly rounded edges like that appears to be but they are fairly thick. That one looks fairly thin but can't see any of the edge.
