Magneto timing

Post by mshaw »

Hi as any one had the three holes in the Lucas K2FC magneto housing drilled so as to allow for the timing to be better adjusted or dose any one know where I can have this done

To do it neatly, really need to get the guts out and mount the bare body on a rotary table or similar on a milling machine, and make arcs of a few degrees where the holes are. It's been done quite a few times, and is a useful mod, I agree, as you get a few degrees of play-space.
Can be done with a file or a raspy drill thing, but most such efforts don't look too pretty!!
