Any recommendations on a good quality ignition switch for the R112? Part #? I left a message with Ron Francis to see what they have.

It is very likely the OEM used these COLE HERSEE now known as Little Fuse.

Thank you. the 95060 shows no mention of 6v. I assume that switch will be fine with my 6v though?

on my 1953 R110, I have the original keys, they say 'Dominion Lock Co' (but my truck was made in Canada, not the US)

Those keys may be recut keys. Cole Hersee was/are also in Canada. I have bought Cole Hersee here more than a few times. Dominion Lock and Key are Canadian locksmiths.
Google it.

I think the original keys for US made R series said "Briggs & Stratton."

This is more like the switch on the L-series...key positions are accessory, off, on...no spring-loaded start position, because the push button on the left side of the dash did that.

That push button makes a great anti-theft device for those who ONLY know how to engage the starter from the key.

I'd say the Pollak 31-159 is probably as close as you could get. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ignition-Switc ... 1492486893
