Well done, David. That's an excellent reconstruction. By the way, RR, as you all know, used to work on their switches to make the action as smooth and grit-free as possible. Every example of that Lucas dash lamp I've encountered appears to have been engineered to produce precisely the opposite result!
I thought one of these lovely-looking ones might be better, but if anything, they're worse. They flap about on the hinge, the switch is hopelessly stiff, and the rotating sleeve is just pushed on with no 'pin and slot' provided to keep it in place.
