Apparently the "Ghost of Lucas" lurks in our F6B's as well? :shhh:Quote:

Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo? It sank.
It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance.
Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" "He replied, it doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens!"
Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck.
Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Lucas engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer.

I'm waiting for the wife to open the garage and find me sitting on a milk crate making motorcycle noises and shaking :yikes:

The sleeve dries out, cracks, and then you have a short or gets loose then an intermittent fault and stuff turns on or off at will. They also rarely used any relays nor fuses, so all the power went through the switches, oh and their positive gound system was another POS. 1962 MG midget, been there done that and never going to do it again.:icon_evil:
Also it's a bad idea to unwrap Lucas wiring looms... because you'll let the smoke out :icon_mrgreen:Quote:
