Hobbs Switch

Under the right wing of my 337H in the location of the normal inspecion port/disc just outboard of the wing strut is (or was) a small wind activated tab attached to a micro switch, that is I assume attaches to my hobbs meter for inflight recording. The small aluminum tab is now missing, and the tny microswitch it attached to has a cracked housing, which allowed the pin holding the tab to "fly off into the sunset". So I need a repolacement micro-switch with it's integrated flight activated tab. The switch is about 1" long, and 3/8" wide. I can't find any reference to it in my manuals, and talking to an A&P today, he said that there are a lot of different switches that have been used over the years.

Does anyone have an idea on what this particlarl swith is (number, etc) and where I might locate a replacement?

tks/Roger
