Need to source shimano SW-E7000 or SW-e8000

Hi all, I crashed my e-mtb last Tuesday and broke the assistance controller switch. Of course with the left controller being mangled I read the part number from the DI2 shifter on the right ( SW-8050-R ) and ordered the SW-8050-L - makes sense right?

Hi all,

I crashed my e-mtb last Tuesday and broke the assistance controller switch.
Of course with the left controller being mangled I read the part number from the DI2 shifter on the right ( SW-8050-R ) and ordered the SW-8050-L - makes sense right?

Well no, the speed controller is in fact an SW-e8000-L so the one I bought, looks like a duck, walks like a duck but is in fact a pizza

Anyway, I am desperately looking for a compatible part - SW-E6000, 7000 or 8000.
Would anyone know where I might get one so that I can ride my bike over the long weekend ?

Or does anyone know a workaround to get the bike to change mode and turn assistance on ? ( and yes, I know just pedaling it without assistance is a workaround - but its not one I can actually use )_

thanks for any help you might have
