I am sure Seven and/or Mini Mania could source the switch but probably not for less than Mini Sport.

 

When you order from Mini Sport US you are really ordering from Europe anyway so broaden your search.  Check Mini Spares, DSN Classic, Somerford, etc.  You can buy the whole lock/switch assembly from Mini Spares for $35 GBP plus shipping. 

 

Also look carefully at your switch and its wiring.  Often the switches are the same with the pigtail wiring being different.  Take note of the number of wires on your switch and their color codes.  You may find a suitable switch at holden.co.uk.  Browse the 4 pages starting with the link below.  If you are willing to cut and splice the new switch wires to your old connector you are likely to find that one of the switches Holden has will work.

I purchased a 1980 mini some time ago and it wouldn't start. Turns out the 3rd position on the switch was shot. As soon as it was cranking I was not getting 12v to the coil.
