quicker and easier than a new harness and a rewire

 

Lucas, the prince of darkness! I've owned quite a few British motorcycles.

 

I did too. Lucas electric was also used in British sports cars. My brother was very into them in the 60s and 70s, owned MGs, Austin-Healeys, XKE v12. One thing in common, Lucas electric failed often.

I don’t see why we’d need to buy smoke, I can create my own easily, I just need to figure out how to bottle it.

 

Yeah, I had a MGA , MG midget and a Bug Eyed Sprite. All Lucas.

 

That bottle label looks old. It must be NOS.

 

Lucas: "The Prince of *DARKNESS*" that title is appropriate for them is so many ways....The leave you in the dark...lots of dark color when things burn...Dark moods prevail when their stuff failed... etc

 

Does the bottle come with instructions on how to replace the smoke into your wiring? It might be worth a shot.

 

well Joe ?? you let out, just reverse that procedure !!

 

Yup, finding the smoke isn't too hard... ...but the special tool to push it back into the harness is like trying to find a needle in a haystack

 

Some folks, like Abe or Joe, may not be able to use that kind. It doesn't say its for negative or positive ground, but why take the chance?


They need this.

 

The NOS Lucas smoke replacement kit I'm familiar with comes with a device to install the smoke back into the wire.

 

Thanks, Ken. I never thought of the positive or negative ground thing for smoke replacement.... Or positive or negative "​​earth" as the Brits call it.
