Hi Pete,
I did this last year. The rear bearing failed after only 31 years (!). I
replaced the bearings OK, but the slip ring disintegrated when I tried to
put it back on. I couldn't find a replacement and, not wanting to loose
weeks of the summer driving season, I installed a GM unit. The lights are
much brighter now.... If you find a source for the slip ring, please let
me know.
FYI, My Lucas unit had been rebuilt by a local auto electrics place a few
times, but they clearly only replaced the front bearing and voltage
regulator. The rear bearing and slip ring looked original.
Drop me a note if you have any questions/troubles.
