Which mag?

Post by simon.holyfield »

I'm getting to the point where I'll be sending the magneto from the Model A away for rebuild.

Currently it has a BTH KC1 fitted, which is configured for slack wire advance. Before I spend the money on refurbishment, I'm wondering if I should look for a Lucas KSA1 and refurbish that instead? Which is the better magneto?

Secondly, Tony Cooper has done all my magneto work over the last 10-15 years. Is Tony still working? If not, who would you all recommend?
cheers

Tony Cooper is still working. He has a dynamo for me to collect this week.
