My selective memory was active and I totally forgot about the pains I endured while a youngster and my MG and Lucas. Needless to say one of those Lucas switches running my Electric fuel pump on the Cobra died one night and luckily I swapped connections with cooling fan override switch next to it and got home. The Lucas switches are at home in the landfill now.

I' ve had the same experience with two Lucas switches going bad. I have found them pretty simple to pull apart and repair however.
