This is from the Concours Guidelines and as far as we can determine is
correct.

The battery master switch was the same part number from beginning to end of
production, and varied only in its mounting.  It had a short stem (about 5/8
inch long) under the fluted part of the knob.  The top of the knob is molded
with the text "OFF" and a direction arrow. Replacement switches being sold
today from Lucas have significantly longer stems (maybe 1/4-3/8 inch longer)
and look wrong, sort of like giraffes.

If anyone has an original car which has an original longer necked switch
knob please be so good as to send me provenance  information as we are
always keen to correct any errors.

Not on mine, John.  It is the original knob and is the short version.

I have a 1962 BT7 tricarb and the longer knob is correct for that model.

I bought one from Woolies in U.K. that was identical to original except that
the knob was longer. I was able to remove the knob and shaft from the new
switch and replace it with the one from my old switch. Perfect match and the
price was lower than any I've seen from US suppliers.

They seem to have good pricing on a lot of Lucas stuff.

I replaced mine two or three years ago, as my rebuilding the oem unit failed
after a while. I had to open up the hole in the bracket as the body of the
new one was a bit larger. Not sure why the repops can't be exactly the same?

Has anyone installed one of the new master shut off switch that Moss sells
in the last year or two?  Have you had any problems with it?  Trying to
decide if I should invest in a repro like the recent Moss offering or try to
find an NOS switch, if I can.
