Amen!

 Ahh yes, But, one must be wary when using Lucas. The reflectors have
an unexplained tendency to work intermittently, occassionally absorbing
all available light instead of reflecting it.

My favorite Lucas part is the infamous 3-way light switch. Three modes
are Dim, Flicker, and Off. (from a bumber sticker seen at Mid-Ohio SCCA
weekend many years ago).

I always heard that Brits like warm beer because Lucas also made
refrigerators.

But this is all in good fun. These remarks go back to my days of
working on an MG Midget. Actually never had a problem with any Lucas
stuff, just had to keep the contacts clean.

They are the dame as used on Britbikes of that era. Someone has been
hawking some repros on E bay. Not real good stuff not like the original
Lucas. Try British Cycle Supply in Chicago ,they had some originals at
the local swap. There are others that may work OK ,but the Real Lucas
look great on the Ambo.

 Can some one make a suggestion for a good replacement of the fender
reflectors on the Ambo. Mine came with the holes but no reflectors to
be seen anywhere. Does Napa or some other source like a marine store
offer a suitable replacement?
Thanks
