Over the years I’ve bought any stuff at swap meets that may come in handy in the future as long as the price is sensible. It’s not often an owner wants something like trafficator switch parts, but when he or she does...! Ancient Lucas stuff in particular was once generally available at swaps, but supply of early control boxes, light switches and similar parts seems to be drying up.

The triggers arrived with yesterday's post, were fitted this morning and (out of car) tested this afternoon. The cancellation now works every time with the lever always returning to the central position. Many thanks Steve.
Just for the record, the old triggers were about 10 thou shorter than the new ones, but I also noticed some difference in the profile of the end that bears on the cam of the ring, which I think also contributed to the problem.
Thanks also to Hans, as that guide was a great help when installing the new triggers.
