Lucas snap connector

Part number 900269

One snap connector is used in the rear lamp wire (the wires have red coloured sleeves)

and another is used in the wire connecting the regulator unit to the output side of the

ammeter in the head lamp. (The wires have purple and white coloured sleeves.)

Snap wire connector

The LUCAS snap connector, as shown in illustration 36, is made up of four components.

Two are tubular sleeves, having pointed extremities, and which are soldered to the ends

of the two wires to be connected. The third part is the centre split ferrule, into which

the two sleeves snap and the fourth component is a rubber sleeve which covers the whole

connector. That rubber sleeve serves the dual purpose of insulating the various metal

parts and also preventing same from separation as the result of vibration.

Horn

The horn push switch, situated on the right handlebar.

Fuses

There are no detachable fuses in LUCAS motor cycle electrical equipment.

Rear lamp

A LUCAS type 467/2 rear lamp is fitted. The body, with bulb holder, is secured to the

rear number plate by two nuts and spring washers.

The cover, carrying the red glass, is secured to the body by a sleeve nut. Upon

removing this nut, the cover and glass may be taken away to permit bulb replacement.

Details of lamp bulbs are given in " DATA."

NOTE.—Take care to engage the back shell correctly so that the pilot bulb is opposite

the aperture provided in the light unit.

Engage bottom tag on lamp rim with the small slit in the shell and gently force the top

of the rim back into the shell, after which re-tighten the locking screw on the top of the

lamp body.

To replace the headlamp rim and light unit

Lay the light unit in the rim so that the location block on the unit back engages with

the forked bracket on the rim.

Replace, by springing in, the spring clips so that they are evenly spaced around the rim.

To replace the back shell engage the projections on the inside of the back shell with

the slots in the holder, press on and secure by twisting it to the right.
