    LUCAS switch retainer rings

    So, I purchased Lucas swithes for my dash from Finish Line.
    Some came with hex nuts, Wiper switch came with ring collar.
    Since I'd like them to match and I dont much care for the hex nut look.

    Does anyone know of a reliable supplier for the Lucas style collars?

    Unfortunately, I don't know where to get just the front hardware. I do know some Lucas style switches sold by ********** are reproductions. I too have noted they don't always match and the quality isn't quite to Lucas standards. And that's not saying much.

    I've been buying mine from here: https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product_list/255. Parts are marked with the Lucas brand name and logo and are in the Lucas green box.

    Here are a couple links. Keep in mind that original Lucas are metric and some of the reproductions are not. The two are a bit different but should compliment one another if you have both types in your dash.

    I believe these are the correct Lucas slotted rings. Switches fitting 14.5mm holes. Currently out of stock but I purchased most of my switches from these guys and they should be able to help you. Send them an email. They are pretty good about getting back to you.

    These should fit the Standard thread pitch toggles that fit the 1/2" hole

    Correction: These will not fit Original Toggle Switches but look correct.

    I suppose you could also just buy a couple extra simple Lucas toggle switches. Would end up paying $12 per ring. Remember to reach out and verify metric or standard.
