Hi Z
Unfortunately the RS web site is down at the moment, but the stock number from my order is 158323, description HS50 AL house wirewound resistor, 4R7 50W.
I went delving in the spares boxes and came up with a NOS, genuine Lucas, 11A RB340. So I will fit that with the resistor and see what happens! The Lands End trial is less than two weeks away, and Im on family holiday duty for a week of that, so not much time for messing around. Im almost tempted to buy an accuspark unit and be done with it. Luckily in class 0 it would be allowed.
Winston, yes I suspected the modern things wernt much good. As I said it worked fine for quite a long time on an old one we fitted at first, but since then it has had the modern pattern ones fitted.
Its amazing how far an A7 will go on a part charged 12ah motor cycle battery, which has powered a map light all night!
