Lucas distributor condensers

We have comprehensive stocks of all commonly required Lucas distributor condensers.

 

The quality of the commonly available condensers is very poor, in terms of both the physical fit & the performance /longevity. We have recently dismantled & examined 4 examples of the orange wired versions, from 4 different factories all around the globe. All of which are readily available & prevalent in the UK. The results confirmed our suspicions & why we are having so many phone calls from owners who've fallen victim to them. Original specification Lucas condensers & ours have 3 metres of winding inside, the orange ones have between 1 metre & 1.5 metres. The internal bonding & construction also left a lot to be desired.

Condenser tester


After a recent very unsatisfactory experience with a "bought in" T series MG condenser, not of our manufacture, we decided to bite the bullet & have a bespoke condenser tester made to our specification. We can now be 100% sure of function prior to fitting & are in the process of making correct T series condensers.
