One more question lads,
When I bought the Petter it was fitted with a non standard Lucas mag, much newer than the engine. I have since bought a BTH M1 which is much more authentic and has the correct gear. Only trouble is that when I offer the BTH up to the mounting bracket, the holes are nowhere near! In fact the mag base is bigger than the platform on the bracket. Do I need another bracket, an adaptor plate or what??
IIRC your engine has greased mains and should therefore have a Thompson-Bennett.
Roland,
I don't doubt that you are correct about the Thompson Bennett, unfortunately I ain't got one, neither am I in the financial position to track one down and pay proper money for it! Any way of getting the BTH on there do you think?? Anyone want to swap??
Or fit a Wico A or Lucas RS or SR.
Roland,
Thanks for the info, I've had a look around on eBay and there's a couple of likely looking wicos, so i might have a bid on one of those. Seriously considering keeping the Bth as it's only a few years out and I know it works, do you know anyone who might have the later bracket for sale? Otherwise, I suppose it's fabrication time!
Regards,
Martin
Roland,
That's an sr1 already on there, I think I will use it again cos it's got a good strong spark, and wait for either a Thompson Bennett or a bracket for that BTH to surface,

Martin
Seems like a reasonable approach. Chasing parts can get expensive.
good luck Roland
