Default 1969 AC fan switch

I told my wife Wednesday that I was having a bad week and was going to drive the Mustang to work twice this week to help my mood. Low and behold, my stupid AC fan switch went out yesterday afternoon with the air temp in the mid 90s. That about did me in.

Anyway, on to my question. This is my second fan switch in three years. Both have failed the same way. The rocker on the inside of the switch gets worn out and turns inside the switch causing a short and POP. I got my last switch from a used/vintage AC parts guy but lost his info. I cannot find the switch in Mustang+ or NPD. Any ideas where I can get a new switch that is maybe better than the OEM ones, or will at least last another 40 years? I plan to take it apart and do surgery on it this weekend, but that did not last long when I did it on the old switch so I will need a new one sooner or later even if I can Jury Rig this one.
