Hi Scott,
I had my Lucas generator rebuilt by a place in Hamden, CT. They do all
kinds of electrical equipment, and I've used them 10-15 times for non-LBC
work, so I gave them a try for the TD. The field coils were bad, and they
were able to find reasonable facsimiles. My generator came back charging
more than specs, though I can't remember the details. It's the kind of
place
where you walk right into the shop, and you can talk to the guy doing the
work. My kind of place.
NRE Auto Electric Rebuilders
35 Warner St.,
Hamden, CT
203 777-2333
Mike is one of the principals there, and they do good work at reasonable
prices.
Standard disclaimer applies: no personal interest or relation, blah, blah,
blah.
