Brightspark Magnetos

The company was founded by two long-term classic motorcycle and car owners with a wealth of experience of working on them. Friends from a mis-spent youth at university, they got together in middle age to develop the Easycap. Initially, the company also undertook repairs and servicing, but following the untimely death of one one of the founders and the subsequent retirement of the other, overhauls are no longer undertaken. The business continues in the hands of family members and is a trusted source of decent-quality parts. The extensive website was created to de-mystify the magneto, and to encourage owners to undertake as much maintenance, diagnosis and repair as possible. Extensive online libraries contain a wealth of data on many magnetos, also dynamos and other electrical components on classic motorcycles. Exhaustive technical descriptions explain how to fit Easycaps, and outline many of the tests that owners can perform to ensure the health of their ignition systems. Workshop equipment, from the simple to the more complicated, is also described and illustrated. The company has its headquarters in Yorkshire in the UK, with distributors of capacitors in many other countries. Tens of thousands of Easycap capacitors are in service all over the world. Brightspark Magnetos Ltd is a business that sells its patented 'Easycap' capacitors for magnetos. The Easycap range was developed to replace buried condensers in magnetos and the company also sells other high-quality parts. The extensive website provides information on magneto maintenance, diagnosis, and repair, as well as technical descriptions and workshop equipment.
