For your input. So are there at least 3 variants of the Lucas panel? I thought coil cars had the panel with the charge light? And Magneto cars had the dash plug sockets? But perhaps there was a crossover? I think I’ll check the wiring with a battery and a bulb To see how this one works.

The 'Magneto' type sockets on your switchboard aren't original - possibly a Lucas SM 5 Coil switchboard board with the red window panel taken off and the two non original sockets fitted. RE: AllAlloyCup progress - Mike Costigan - 19-12-2018 I think Bill has the correct unit; the coil ignition version has the main feed going to the centre pillar of each switch: SM5.jpg (Size: 47.98 KB / Downloads: 203) I think the apparent 'wrong' socket on the face is because you have the plug fitted to the socket, and we are seeing the back of the plug. The main feed bar looks to have a soldered repair about half-way down - this seems to be a common fault and caused no end of problems on my coil version; I ended up running a separate wire from the ammeter terminal ... Regarding the cut-out connections, the terminals should be marked on the insulation base D+ and A; usually the D terminal is the one on the right in your photo, and the A is the terminal on the 'centre' post. RE: AllAlloyCup progress - AllAlloyCup - 19-12-2018 Hi Mike Thanks for the helpful input, there is a plug in the Auxiliary pair of sockets. Thanks too for the info on the cut out connections. Looking at the rear of your coil panel is different But just to check? Are you saying “correct” means coil type! So there 3 types of SM panel...? Regards Bill G RE: AllAlloyCup progress - Timothy P - 19-12-2018 I was going to say as it has summer and winter winter charge settings rather than M (magneto) and D (dynamo) it seemed to be coil, but wasn't certain. Looking at the back it certainly seems likely it's coil, mag type only has strip to lighting switch (and the socket). A test seems the best idea to be sure of which it's for, fingers crossed for you. RE: AllAlloyCup progress - Mike Costigan - 19-12-2018 As Timothy says, a mag-type switch panel should have M and D on the face. I beiieve Bill's panel is an interim unit between the normal mag-type and the coil type with ignition light, presumably fitted to the late coil-ignition R-Type saloons late 1928? A circuit test will establish whether the ignition switch is earthed in the on position for a magneto, or live for a coil. RE: AllAlloyCup progress - AllAlloyCup - 19-12-2018 Hi Mike, Thanks for solving this mystery! See EBay item 392195643465 Which currently wrongly listed as a Coil switch panel it has the M and D And the appropriate wiring on the back as you described . Regards Bill G RE: AllAlloyCup progress - Tony Press - 19-12-2018 (19-12-2018, 11:35 AM)AllAlloyCup Wrote: Hi Mike, Well another 'new' bit of Austin Seven history- this Lucas SM 3 1/2 (or is it SM 4) panel - the rear connections are a mixture of the Magneto panel SM 3 and Coil panel SM 5 and the coil connection is clearly marked IGN . It is possible to wire an SM 3 for coil but a lot better to use this (rare? ) panel. You asked- Also does anyone sell the flate plate fuses fitted to the other posts within the cut out? We discussed this on the forum recently - no one suggested a supplier, the answer was to use standard house fuse wire. RE: AllAlloyCup progress - Ruairidh Dunford - 19-12-2018 VW campers have flat fuses, see: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T4-Transporter-1-9-2-4-2-5-Van-FLAT-FUSE-SET-Rad-Fan-Glow-Plug-30-50-80-Amp-/273214298269 May lead to something of use. |
