I broke the gear up warning trip switch on my glider. It was positioned

Des anyone know a source for a replacement?

The idea is to avoid micro switches, I have had a lever fall off one in
flight, so had to fly with the wheel down for the rest of the flight to
stop the rackets from the buzzer, so use a reed switch, no physical contact
is needed, when the magnet is moved close to the reed it operate, the reed
could replace your micro switch, and the magnet where the actuator was.
