Research on Electrical Equipment and other components

from Lucas and other catalogues covering all cars and commercial vehicles, and Rover Parts
books from TP/111/A onwards
This extract by Mike Combridge covers 80 and some later Series Ones, and sometimes Rover
cars.
Sources : Lucas original loose leaf catalogues from early 1950s as follows:
publication 721A
L/151/L
263 pages
Dynamo & Starter
note - it is believed that 151 probably means January 1951, etc.
publication 710
?

Ignition
714
?
209 pages
Horns, wipers, switches etc
711B
L/252/L
124 pages
B90 Exchange scheme
publication CE648 Feb 51
equipment specification - date unknown, but about 1954
: REMAX catalogue dated Mar 68
: Brown Bros catalogue c. 1957
Letters, A, B etc., after Lucas part numbers indicate minor revisions in construction but usually
not in functionality. Generally speaking later letters are OK for replacement purposes. Special
variants for Land Rover are indicated by G plus a number, e.g. G86.

37/Note - threads are made .001 U/S to allow for wear, .001 O/S on O/D, and insert ring is
half thou U/S. Lapping may be necessary to obtain perfect fit, and should preferably be
done with a thin oil. The thread surfaces on the worm may need reducing at the ends where
least wear takes place, to ensure free movement of the nut over the whole travel.
