Does anyone have an extra Lucas on/off switch? I'm looking for the original Lucas style, not those that come with the kit. I ordered from ********** in October but going on month 4 of that fiasco and i have 2 weeks left before buttoning up the dash for body back on so running out of time.... Thanks!

I've got a bunch of them. Let me check them out and I'll let you know. Say around $15 for a new one shipped to PA.

I've always been happy dealing with JollyRogers for British parts. Actually, met him at the British Car Show in Stowe and sold him some items I had for sale as he buys and sells used British parts too.

Here is his page for switches. https://jollyrogersmotors.com/store/c/127-Switches-Solenoids.html

Or go to Moss Motors for a complete line of British parts.

I'll look at what I've got, some are new and some are used.

That would be great, thanks! Let me know if you have one and I'll PM you my address, $15 sounds good.

I'd get an extra one or two if I were you. I agree they're the best and most authentic looking. But I've had two literally just fall apart without really being used all the much. You know Lucas isn't known for high quality, right? Also, the single pole on/off ones ********** sells in my experience aren't actual Lucas parts. They're reproductions. And even lower quality. You want to make sure you get the authentic green box Lucas items. The parts themselves are also marked.

Sounds like you have a source lined up. But just in case, I've had good luck getting them from here: https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product_list/255.

Thanks, appreciate it. Yep, I'm replacing my manual fan override switch that broke during my first 1500 miles of gel coat (note, I still have the temp sender controlling the fan, so this switch was almost never used.... way to go lucas!). When I re-do my dash in the future, I will be moving away from Lucas, but keeping them for now.

I responded on the other form but if you want the one I have, I live in Harleysville Pa so we could meet up if it's easier. Let me know. I sent a PM on that forum with my cell phone if you want to connect. Thanks
