Hi people
Anyone got a securing “spring” for a Ruby ignition/lighting switch?
Or any suggestions on how to.
Regards
           Tim
Ps To fix the switch to the dash panel

You could wind your own. Get some 16 SWG wire from a model shop and wind it around a wooden former. You would need to experiment a bit to find a former the right size, probably 2/3 the diameter of the switch body. From memory, you would need about 5 turns.

A suitable jubilee clip will work if you are stuck.

Or buy a whole new unit: https://www.theaustinsevenworkshop.com/p...ning-light
