You can just bypass them by connecting together the two wires on the switch

Or use a small tie wrap to close the switch arm permanently.

thx but would prefer to fix it right but i really do appreciate the advise.

As Roland doesn't appear to have an exploded view document for this printer, I can't find a part number, so I don't know how you will be able to find the actual part. You can fabricate something, as it's probably just a 90 degree angle piece. As both the previous suggestions are more of a permanent solution, another possibility is to make a removable plug you can place in the switch bracket, retaining normal switch functionality. It is useful to be able be able to open the cover while printing.

update i went to my friends machine shop and fabricated one not too hard i just like the idea of being able to shut off the head immediately if something goes wrong just by opening up the front cover i will sell these if anyone needs one for 5 dollars just to cover material made from aluminum thx for all the help

Mr. Hancock you wouldn't happen to have the service manual for a sg2 would you
