Intermittent battery cut out - cyclamatic

[electric_avenue]

Back on the original subject of my intermittent cut-out, after much messing I now know the problem - its the key switch. If I bypass it everything is fine, apart from the fact I have to take the battery out whenever the bike's not in use.
Sports-HQ quoted me £90 for a replacement switch (it also forms the locking mech that hold the battery into the bike). Anyone know of a cheaper supplier?
Alternatively, I need to fit an alternative switch, hopefully a small one that will fit the case as well as the original so I still have the locking mech in place.
I bought one of these from maplin but for some reason it doesn't hack the job - only a small current is passed and the lights only flicker on. Can anyone suggest a suitable rated switch, which is or can be made waterproof?

Its certainly not a direct replacement.
I'd like to keep the current one in place and just fit a new waterproof switch. But it would need to be 24v/15A rated and I haven't found anywhere that sells something like that.

I've got a Cyclamatic one I can send you free - seeing as it's Xmas. PM me your address and I'll send it after Xmas. If you don't hear anything by the 28th, send me a reminder because I have a memory like a seive.
