[Tigers] Lucas dashboard switches

[FHSLOTH13 at aol.com]

They also prevented the dreaded "Lucas Smoke" from permeating into the  
passenger compartment when one actually tried to use the switches.

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.
