I got about 5 dashboard switches in various condition. A couple of
them had a wavy very narrow, very thin copper (?) washer between the round
slotted nut and the body of the switch, falling over the threaded part.
Are they
supposed to be used on all our toggle switches?
Those thin copper washers were referred to as "Lucas Seals" and were added
to the switches in about 1969. They are intended to seal the infectious
"Lucas Virus" that lived within the vehicle electrical system from escaping
and infecting other vehicle systems.
