Default Do they still make panel mount battery selector switches?

It's the little things that get you. The battery switch in my E32 is located
where it used to serve double duty as a companionway step. I eliminated the
second function by building a spray and foot shield to go over the
electrical panel.

I turned the switch today and the knob fell off. The flat on the end of the
shaft was weakened by all those years of being bent and straightened and
just broke off. No clear way to fix it.

The problem now is that all new battery switches seem to be surface mount
and I would have to do major surgery on the panel and spray cover to install
one. Does anyone know of a 1 - 2- Both - Off battery switch that mounts
behind a panel with just a shaft sticking through for a removable knob? Four
mounting holes on 3 inch centers would be the icing on the cake.

This would be a replacement for the original switch on a 1980 Endeavor 32.

Please don't bother suggesting relocating the switch or similar solutions. I
can figure those out for myself. I'd like to keep the original panel
appearance and not get into rerouting a lot of heavy wiring this spring.
