Just a warning note - my Mk3 commando fell over on the way to Rimini, destroying the handlebar switch gear (both sides!). The original Lucas parts have been unobtainable for some time, but now it seems the' sparx' replacement units are no longer available, or listed by the usual dealers (Andover Norton, RGM, or Norvil). This switch gear was also used by the T140, and my intensive search among the Triumph dealers has identified what might be the last pair of switch gear left (sparx). Given the number of Mk3's in the club, this is the type of spare the club should be considering for re - manufacture,

Another for the re-manufacture spread sheet to action. I'm not saying this as a Mk3 owner BTW but simply to ensure we keep these machines, like all the rest going. Of course there are alternatives but the R/H switch case is a part of the Master Cylinder assembly.

Just wondered if you included Tri-cor in your search.
I think these are the Mk3 switches (not an expert on this).

I have used Tri-cor for Sparx switch-gear (not Mk3) before, with the item required in stock and dispatched promptly.
