Electrical switches and switchgear for classic British cars, covering column switches, dashboard switches, ignition switches, indicator switches, wiper switches, light switches and the wider range of electrical control components fitted across the British classic range. Lucas was the dominant switchgear supplier across this period, and the Lucas part numbering system supports cross-application identification where the same switch was fitted to multiple marques.
Column Switches
Column-mounted indicator, dipper and wiper switches were progressively standardised across the British motor industry from the late 1960s onwards as steering column packaging became more uniform. Column switches are stocked in original Lucas specification across the major British classic applications, with single-stalk and twin-stalk arrangements depending on era. Steering column locks were progressively introduced in the late 1960s and standardised across most markets through the 1970s.
Dashboard Switches
Dashboard rocker switches, toggle switches and rotary switches are stocked across the major applications. Original Lucas switchgear is well-supported with replacement units in original visible configurations.
Where original switches are unavailable, period-correct alternatives in similar visible appearance are stocked.
Ignition Switches and Steering Column Locks
Ignition switches and steering column locks are typically integrated assemblies on cars from 1969 onwards, with separate ignition switches fitted to earlier cars. Both are stocked across the major British classic applications, with original keys supplied where appropriate.
Specialist Switches
Brake light switches (mechanical and pressure-operated), reverse light switches, oil pressure switches, water temperature switches, overdrive switches, handbrake warning switches and other specialist switches are stocked across the major applications. The MGOC Spares British Classic Car Parts Switches range encompasses column switches, dashboard switches, ignition switches, indicator switches, wiper switches, light switches, brake light switches, reverse light switches and specialist electrical switchgear for the British classics we serve. MGOC Spares is constantly expanding our range for these non-MG British classic marques, and new lines are being added to this section regularly.
