Hi I am new to this forum but don't actually own an Amazon (although a 122 or 123 is on my wish list) but my reason for joining is the issue with this Lucas Brake Light Switch.

I am a member of the Mini Cooper Register and the Morris Minor Owners Club. Both clubs are interested in the failure of these after market switches and indeed failures with other parts that are manufactured in the far east. Concerned individuals in both clubs are trying to illicit help in bringing these issues into a public domain to achieve recognition from the many specialist suppliers that they need to smarten up their act when procuring classic car parts. We would like to use your detailed article on the issue to illustrate just how serious this problem is. Is there anyone that can give that permission and indeed are there any like minded individuals they can lend a hand.

Currently I have contacted the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs and the Parliamentary Committee for classic cars, neither has had the common courtesy to reply and we are now lobbying sympathetic journalists in the classic press. There are many serious issues with safety critical car parts that one day is going to end in horrific if not fatal accidents, we are determined not to let this matter rest!

Please re-post any answer/communication here as I am at the moment unfamiliar with your forum.

Dave
