[Roadsters] Lucas Electrics.

[Gary McCormick]

Years back there was a woman who worked at my place of employment who drove a Mini Cooper which had a great bumpersticker. It said: "All parts falling off of this vehicle are of the highest quality British manufacture."

Gotta love it...

As a native of England, I am required by British Law to take extreme umbrage
at facile denigrations of British manufacturers. Fortunately, we British have
a great deal of compassion for the former colonies and understand the
knee-jerk jealousy that is concomitant with not being English.

That being said, thank you for your suggestions and assistance. One solution
offered was to stop making left turns! Need I say more!

I suspect that the creation of  Lucas Replacement Wiring Harness Smoke kit,
P/N 530433, along with the very rare Churchill Tool 18G548BS adapter tube and
metering valve (so kindly mentioned by Stan, along with an actual picture (of
the former) supplied by Mike Hudson) was intended for American Mechanics who
do not understand the subtlety of a proper  British Motor car. Again, my
condolences.

BTW, we English also have the ability to laugh at ourselves and so my favorite
Lucas t-shirt depicts a 3-way switch. Off,Dim, & Flicker. Enough said.
