Hi Simon,
The solenoid was made in June 1957.
Obviously it is a Lucas part.
The Lucas part number is 76411E. ( I believe the E is the modification
state).
Don't know what the L stands for and obviously 12 VDC.
Most of these units have the "ban the bomb" symbol on them, as do many other
Lucas components, and again I know not its significance.
Hope that gets you started on your quest!!

I have a solenoid on my desk as I type this. Its markings are, I think, as
follows:-
6 57 LUCAS
76 411E L 12V
MADE IN ENGLAND.
Under the 6, to the left of the "76" is something, rather worn, which looks
like a Ban-the-bomb peace symbol.you know the thing, like a Mercedes star
upside down??
This thing looks exactly the same as the one in my BMC Service Parts List,
but actually does not - at first glance - resemble the solenoid on my MkII
BT7. (So, no surprises there then!)
It came off a Jag so far as I know, out of "a box of bits" that someone gave
me. I'm having a clear out and would like to know something about this item,
which bench tests OK, before I bin it or flog it.
Does anyone have something which will identify it?
Thanks a lot,
Simon.
