I'm assuming that what wears out in these are the contact points in the switch.
With what they cost, it would be worth the time to drill the rivets out and see if one could make new bits.
Maybe it just needs cleaning up from years of arcing.
A capacitor, Varistor etc. could be added to the circuit to prevent that type of damage from happening; easily enough to do.

There used to be a Lucas repair kit for these turn indicator switches. It included springs and pawls etc.
I remember buying a couple from a local chap who was a Lucas guru and was highly regarded as a fount of electrical knowledge on old English cars.
From memory they cost about A$15 but that was 15 or 20 years ago
Unfortunately, he has passed away and I don't have any invoices or receipts to refer to for part numbers.
It might be worthwhile to chase down Lucas parts.
