Where can I get some original Lucas bits for a 1964 Mini?
Looking for NOS or original dash switch's, numberplate light and front indicators.
Are the new Lucas ones available now the same as the originals?

Anthony Pearson has lots of NOS Lucas switches and parts, and he's in Adelaide. He's a regular at Bendigo and Ballarat swap meets (the latter this coming weekend).

"NOS Lucas" there is a heap of it being made in China. They even copied the green boxes.

I think Holden (not gmh) in the UK put together a video showing the differences in the quality.

EDIT: found it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4_i8W4a0GM

I browsed the stall below at Ballarat and they don't stock any cheap repro stuff. All top shelf. A little bit more to pay but you are guaranteed of quality.
