MG MGA - installation of the switches in the dash

Is there some sort of washer between the lock nut on the switches (map light, panel light, fog, headlight, etc) and the back of the dash? The SPL shows something but does not specify what it is.

Thanks!

I believe it is a thin lockwasher as there is a hex nut behind it to adjust depth of the switch in the panel, or compensate for panel thickness.

I am with Barney on this. The washers I have are spring washers, 0.655" OD, 0.05" thick to suit the 0.375" thread on the body of the switch.

Cheers

Here is a picture of a NOS Lucas PS7 switch (map,fog,wiper) I bought recently in a sealed Lucas package and dated 1973. The half spring washer has the dimensions as given by Dave................Mike
