Hi,
New member here, recently bought a 1950 Comet which I am currently pulling to bits
Whats the generally accepted method to retrofit a cutout switch to a Comet that has the Lucas K1F magneto?
This magneto has the bakelite/plastic points cap that is held in place centrally by a spring clip - its not a screw on cap.
I see lots of references on the internet to K2F cut out end caps but nothing specifically for the K1F so asking on here. I can also see metal screw-on type points caps with the cutout contact - but mine is not a screw on type. Or do I need to find and install a replacement magneto end plate with one with a screw thread, attach that which would allow me to use a screw on cap with cutout?
Or would one of these K2F end caps fit?
I did try the forum search but surprisingly nothing came up, and I cannot be the only person to have asked this question!
Regards,
Julian
