Moss has the MG and Healey controls but they don't sell the switch as a separate piece. Cost of the MG unit is $42.00 but would require mods to use on a Sunbeam. Try ashleyhinton in the U.K. I believe their site is ashleyhintonmgparts.com
I just purchased the control from Moss. I believe it was for a 1962 MG. Price with shipping was $63.58 It did require substantial modifications, but is a exact duplicate now.Moss has the MG and Healey controls but they don't sell the switch as a separate piece.

Hey Eric, I’ll write up a description with photos in the next day or two. The modifications took about 2 hours. It works great and returns the original function of the push/pull heater blower control.What modifications were needed? This is good info to have.....
The original control from Moss has the cable actuator clocked 180 degrees from where it’s needed for the Sunbeams. It also uses the barrel and set screw to hold the center part of the cable vs the post the Sunbeam had. I pressed the center pivot out, drilled a couple of holes in the actuator so it could be clocked and reassembled the switch. I cut off part of the arm which holds the barrel and fabricated a post in its place. I also had to cut off the switch arm to length, remove my old switch arm with the chrome ball, and reattach it to the new switch. If you look close you’ll see empty rivet holes in the new switch as I’m waiting delivery of tiny solid rivets.Hey Eric, I’ll write up a description with photos in the next day or two.
