I would probably get an electrician to come and repair it if it was mine, and they would know where to get the correct bits.

Go to your nearest Electrical wholesaler and ask for PDL 573 or get in touch with an electrician if you are not familiar with replacing one

They're called "toggle" switches.

The OP called them a "pull cord light switch" and you all seemed to know what he was talking about
