Hi folks,any ideas on where I could get an Ignition switch for my 1931 coil ign APD Tourer in UK.

Thanks, Stephen.

They often appear on ebay or perhaps one of the usual supliers such as Wayne Rushin of Midshire Sevens in Leicester or John Firth in Yorkshire to name a couple may have one. Or, of couse, you could try a wanted ad in another part of this site.
Best of luck with finding one.

Thanks for your help,

Stephen

Stephen,
Have just realised that if you are looking for a switch for a 1931 model, it is most likely a Lucas SM5 not a PLC type, so maybe my post is relevant

Hi, Thanks Barry you have given me plenty to look at, the present switch has a spade key which often falls out as you drive making life interesting at the end of a trip.

Stephen

Hello Stephen,

Well at that rate you do have the PLC type switch so my info may be OK after all.

I stand to be corrected but I am sure that the correct ignition switch for a 1931 car should be the SM5 type (no key). If I am correct then you could buy one and sell your existing switch thereby not spending too much money.

Steve - I'd be very surprised if Brian isn't correct. Meantime tie a piece of string to your key with the other end attached to a convenient knob, if it escapes you don't have to go searching. At journey's end, if you've left it attached to the knob, tuck it up behind the dash over a convenient wire/cable. Cheers, Bill in Oz

And of course I meant to say
not relevant" -seniors moment, sorry,
