The homegrown auto-electrician who rebuilt starters, generators, etc. 
(from
the 60's to present) told me how 'dependable' Lucas starters were.  I'm
conflicted...please enlighten me...um, encandle me?

As examples, I did have to have the original generator in my '62 Herald 
rebuilt a couple of years ago. And I also had to pull out the original 
starter after the bolts holding it loosened up and the drive got 
busted/jammed. It still spins fine, and I'll have it repaired sometime 
soon; meanwhile, I threw in another starter that was lying around in 
the barn (that starter is only about 35 years old).

My '52 Mayflower has its original starter and generator as well.

In nearly 40 years of driving Triumphs, the electrical components have 
-- by far -- been the least of my problems.

Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
