The Mk III switches are cosmetically the same as the T140ES, there are Sparx repro's (& a NOS listing on ebay at the minute) - a quick google search shows that both left & right Sparx versions seem to be available again.
You may be lucky & someone may have one lying aroundthat they can let you have. If not you'lleither have to whittle something up, or scour the autojumbles looking for something similar. The left & right switches are identical &both aresecured by a smallx-headscrew inthe left face of the switch.
My own grail is that I'm trying to find a spring & ball bearing for the indicator switch after my late father 'helped' me by cleaning the contacts!
Mike, MK III
Many thanks Mike i will give that a try
kind regards Steve.

Hi Steve,
Is there anything in the picture that is useful to you. I know it's the wrong side but maybe the buttons are the same. If so you can have it as it is of no use to me,
Regards Rob.

Mike, Andover Norton have just sent me their newsletter for this month, and I noticed that they now do a Lucas switch repair kit number 13.1657, or 1656 depending on the year of your bike, for about £15.95 + vat
Don't know if that's what you are looking for, but it's got springs and ball bearings included. May be worth a look?

Hi Tim, yes I noticed that…
Hi Tim, yes I noticed that & wondered if it would work. The kit is actually for the earlier switches, I was saved from experimenting by Alan who kindly sent me the required parts!
