Hhhhmmm. I responded to this thread late yesterday, bit it appears to have gone to some internet-bit bucket.....

I realized the Lucas toggle had a bit of a lip, where the threaded boss contacts the switch body.

The prior owner/builder had used bat-handled switches that fit in the hole he had drilled. The Lucas toggles would fit in the hole, but that lip was too large for the drilled hole. The fix was easy-peasy.... Took a good rat-tail file and about five minutes per hole; I opened up the hole, and the Lucas switch fit tightly. Problem solved. I had enough of the Lucas switch exposed to accept its locking bezel.

Thanks for the help.... I hope this posting makes it to the thread(!)
