Our
goods and services

Our patented EasyCap™ is a simple
replacement for the condenser (capacitor) in
many ignition systems, focusing especially on
that old problem, the deeply-buried condenser
found in all rotating-coil magnetos. Once
fitted, the EasyCap becomes a routine service
item. Initial installation does require the
old condenser to be disconnected. We provide
detailed instructions in our 'condensectomy'
pages on how to do that. We also provide
downloadable drawings for those of you who
wish to make the required puller tool
yourselves.
|
|
We also sell our Brightspark™ range of
specially-selected, top-quality, British-made
slip rings and pick-ups for Lucas and BTH
magnetos. Pick-up brushes of the highest
quality are also available, of the correct
grade to avoid carbon deposits on the slip
ring.

We are unfortunately not able to offer
any service or repair work until further notice.
Links to other service providers can be found
here.

From time to time we have complete
magnetos available for sale or in
part-exchange. At any one time, we reckon to
have a small choice of reconditioned
instruments available for immediate use, and a
further selection that can be reconditioned on
demand to 'perfectly functional' or 'as-new'
to suit the needs of a customer.
