Does anyone know where to get the slightly curved two position toggles
for the morgan plus 4, I am trying to restore my SS properly, and can
only get thus far the straight and I think shorter type.  they also flip
in the wrong direction when mounted proper. 

its a 1B number, anyone have a lucas reference out there?

Thanks Bob Bowie in Maine
