Someone is or was making reproduction coil/ignition switch units that clamp into the circular clamp under the dash. They were coming up on e bay for a while although I have not seen them recently.
What I have done is to use a standard Bosch 6V coil and a separate key operated ignition switch from a boat shop. The ignition switch goes into the dash hole and the coil clamps in behind it. Its virtually identical to the original and a lot cheaper than the reproduction units. You need to make sure you glue a thick rubber pad over the end of the coil so it cannot short against the ignition switch terminals.
