Autosparks do the metal clip in bulb holders if you want new or I will have some kicking about.

eBay item 123522975584 shows a switch.

Lucas part number 5L31. Also used on the ADO16 and probably other BMC models.

Early single dial speedo has a square toggle each side - they are hard to find now. My Mk1 S oval dash has a more rounded toggle. Whereas BCA4312 is a flat toggle, more like the windscreen wiper switch.

I think, from left to right, the part numbers are: 13H303, 5L31, BCA4312
