Hi Derek,

Tremendous thanks for the above, especially for finding and sharing the product and you tube link. Mega thanks for the advice!

Your advice has always been solid : I’ll try your suggestion!

I had (very briefly) considered using my old screw extractors & some good old brute force, but was concerned with possibility of being too forceful on this 52yr strong original switch.
Keen to keep car as original as possible.

(Check our the old info insert in my Amazon’s fusebox: which I’ve left as it. The card, not the fuse base)

1) Awaiting on correct grub screws (4mm x 7.6mm per the verniers callipers)
As I feel it’s not the switch, but was the wired connection that had come loose re 2 x busted old brass screws.

2) if issue persists - impact driver the ‘ruddy screws out.

3) Refurb the switch!

Picking up an impact driver tomorrow, anyway. Makes sense to add to the tool-box. New Torque-wrench next...

Thanks again Derek.

Cheers!
