Hi

I'm curious with regard to the letter suffix attached to Lucas magneto part numbers, (K2Fs in this case but I guess the convention is common throughout Lucas products). Can anyone point me to an explanation of the significance of the part identification last character? Is it a reference to the time of production, does it signify a minor design change or something else?

Regards Mick

Can you give examples of the part numbers you refer to, I can find no part numbers with letters. Or, are you referring to the mag model number eg. K2F
K= lightweight, 2 = twin, F = Flange mounting. All seen at the start of Lucas parts lists. Early circa 20's mag's did have a dating code stamped on the mag.

Hi Rob

Of course - sorry for not explaining too well:

OK

I think I've got it - They represent configuration changes to the basic magneto, if I follow the numbers in parentheses I can identify the changes.
Am I correct?

Regards Mick

Ah, looks like the part number referred to was that of the complete mag. Did they not give an explanation about the suffix letter at the start of the listing?
