Mark,
I'm not familiar with standard off-the-shelf deadman switches configured as a grip bar. Typical industrial applications would use mushroom cap momentary limit switches. A typical one is McMaster Carr number 7403K41. It would meet your "big red plastic switch" specification. They come in normally open or normally closed configurations. This model can be used in a control circuit and switch about 2.5 amps.
