Can you kindly arrange for us to see a sample of the Lucas switch you have in mind before ordering a quantity on our behalf?. The sample need not necessarily have the front plate to indicate the "on" and"off" positions. We would not bother you if we could obtain a sample from Lucas here in London but they seem to know nothing of the switch. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} | ||
