I've received two replies to my followup post (I think I forgot to include
the triumphs list on that one) which convince me that I misled some people.
Summary: I found a toggle switch at the hardware store with on-off-on
behavior and six (not four) terminals to at least temporarily replace my
broken hazard switch.  In a PS to the note I wrote:

    Skip> [*] Somewhat off-topic, but I am curious...  The switch has six

One reply, from Dave Hebert was:

    Dave> I believe that the hazard rocker switch with 6 small spade
    Dave> terminals is the one for the 1972 (and only 1972) TR6 and the
    Dave> earlier one with 4 big (normal size) terminals was fitted to the
    Dave> 1969-1971 TR6 and likely the TR250.

In my note I was referring to the toggle switch I bought today, not my
defunct Clear Hooters hazard switch.  My apologies for the ambiguous
reference to "the switch".
