Does anyone know where I can get a supply of the Lucas (electronic) rotor arm/cup above please

Sorry no part number at the moment - it's from an old type Lucus electronic ignition with a seperate amp box

It would be nice to get at least two of these but just one would be a good start

Thanks

It may help if you said what make, model, year of car it comes from and you will most likely find a part number marked on the dizzy which will help even further as the same dizzy may well feature on many different cars/engines.

I'll bet Halfords sell one.

That looks suspiciously like the aftermarket Lucas AB13 ignition kit my brother had on his mini donkeys years ago (uses a large aluminium finned amplifier module). If that's the case then there is approximately zero chance that Halfords will stock it, and to be honest I can't imagine who else would. A regular trawl of eBay and autojumbles might turn up something I suppose.

Hi Olly, our Halfords keep their stocks of regular items very low and usually yet to be sorted and shelved whenever I go in, and as I can't list a car these were fitted too they can't use their database

Mr2Mike is correct, aftermarket to the cars that it's fitted to that I'm helping with and yes that looks like the amp and I've seen an amp on UK eBay but not the rotor

some outlets still have NOS Lucas so very difficult but not necessarily impossible to find

If only a local store would let me sort thro' there large box of Lucas NOS I'd at least know for sure at one outlet

I will get more info when I get a chance - I'm having too many things to do on my car at the moment, the car hates me, god hates me and I hate them at the moment (I'm prepared to forgive the car but not god or the ignorant Christians in Motorsport)

What is the application? Might be an idea to bite the bullet and get a newer system? If it's not a high performance engine then the tiny Pertronix, Aldon Igniter etc. modules are very easy to fit and not especially expensive (compared to Lumentiton anyway).

If you want to stick to the original, then providing the magnetic chopper is in good condition it doesn't look beyond the realms of possibility to modify a standard rotor arm to fit on top of it?

It's for a freind who has a b and a Spridget and possibly a third car using the system - I like the idea of adapting one

I think he also wants a couple of spare to carry in the boots of the cars as the Spidget is a daily runner

I'll try and get numbers after I'm back from holiday

Thanks
