This is from the Concours Guidelines and as far as we can determine is
correct.
*The battery master switch was the same part number from beginning to end
of production, and varied only in its mounting. It had a short stem (about
5/8 inch long) under the fluted part of the knob. The top of the knob is
molded with the text "OFF" and a direction arrow. Replacement switches
being sold today from Lucas have significantly longer stems (maybe 1/4-3/8
inch longer) and look wrong, sort of like giraffes.*
If anyone has an *original car* which has an original longer necked switch
knob please be so good as to send me provenance information as we are
always keen to correct any errors.
