Great knowledge and ideas from ALL. The grommet idea makes sense. Interestingly, the Concours Guidelines are silent on this (another example that the “Guidelines” are not all inclusive and just that, GUIDELINES. I have spoken with a restoration person/retired Concours judge and it was he that suggested the Lucas battery box (a plastic? black box that has the recessed imprint “Lucas” on the box. The Guidelines do mention that one cant find the factory original battery and there is an acceptable replacement. All of your responses are an example of the uncertainty in such situations. I will speak with Roger Moment, and see what he suggests and report back. Thanks to all

If no help, you can tape or secure the screws on top with clamp or reach up with a long arm. If rusted or stubborn use a vise grip and some "Lucas tool box buddy" to remove them. Unit drops down rather than up and out if I remember the procedure. Some folks can rebuild the switch with involves replacing the spring inside, but AH Spares/Moss have replacements$$. Be sure to get the short neck style to be concours correct. Hank
