Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi Friends
When it comes to replacement ignition parts there seems to be a lot of junk and wrong parts out there.

I am trying to obtain some genuine Lucas rotor arms, contact sets, condensers and LA12 or HA12 coils.
Does anyone know of a good |Lucas spares supplier in the Staffordshire or West Midlands area. Of course if I buy via mail order then location doesn't matter.
I rang the Lucas helpline!!! They weren't at all helpful because I was not a distributor for them.
Can anyone help please.
regards
Ty

ESM http://www.morrisminorspares.co.uk seems to have all the parts, i dont know if it is lucas but ive recently had a rotor arm andpoints from them which seem good quality. ask them anyway, they are great at next day delivery so long as you order before 1pm

cheers

Yes Grainger is right I would hope that the duff batches that were around should have been eliminated from the bigger Minor spares suppliers stocks some time ago.

Thing is, Lucas don't actually *make* a lot of the "Lucas" parts anymore. I ordered a Lucas Reg-Rec unit for my bike and got a "CarSpares" branded one come from the Lucas Depot (and they charged me extra for the privilage (of them ordering from some other supplier for me)). I don't know if Lucas still make the rotor arms, contacts, etc, but I would suspect not.

I'm told that the 'Lucas' Coils are now made in China, I do know that I had two fail in very short order (i.e. still under warranty kind of short order) on my car; I've now got a Bosch coil (yeah, yeah, I know, I should buy British).

There are local lucas parts places.... I just rang Lucas and asked....
