Looking for a switch

Trying to control the exhaust brake on my he351vgt. What I've got is a 2nd gen shutdown solenoid to do the job. Problem is, there is a 'pull' and 'hold' circuit. I would like to mount a switch on the shifter that is normally 'off' with the next position being 'on' and the final position being 'momentary on'. That way, I push all the way forward from off to mom/on to engage the solenoid, then let off to 'on' and it stays held in untill I choose to switch it off. All the switches I've found with these features have 'off' in the center, whereas I need specifically off/on/mom-on. So, where do I look for such an animal? Oh, and the solenoid will be on a relay, so the switch does not need to carry much current.
Thanks fellas!
