I recently purchased an NOS Lucas ignition switch off fleabay, it was in
an old looking orange Lucas box.
It was exactly what I needed for my current project.
I bid, I won but I really lost.
What I got was a cheap ass Lucas India ignition switch in an old box.
The keys are pieces of tin flashing, the backing nut threads are larger
than the threaded housing as it sort of skips right off.
There is no square edge so when you put it in the dash, turn the key,
the whole switch rotates.
So like all Lucas India, I still have the box but the part is in the
trash. It was trash before it left India.
And I thought the chinese made real shit.
Or They did away with the green boxes and went back to orange, the brass
terminals look like all the rest of the asian yellow metal, not real brass.
