Triumph had recalled the Clear Hooter's style (headlamp) toggle switches and
replaced them with the larger Lucas ones (as Valerie had noted TRF offered).
It seems either is acceptable for originality.
If you go the Clear Hooter's route, periodically disassemble the switch and
clean the ball bearing inside as to keep it free from dirt and grime.
Otherwise your switch may fail. The Clear Hooter's is a much more elaborate
design than the Lucas, and if kept clean works just fine.
>From time to time you can find NOS Clear Hooter's switches, but expect to
pay through the nose... upwards of $100, and $40+ for used ones.
