Have you inadvertently let the smoke out of the wires on your classic British
car? This, then, is the solution to your problem!
Here is presented for your perusal one Lucas Replacement Wiring Harness Smoke
kit, P/N 530433, along with the very rare Churchill Tool 18G548BS adapter tube
and metering valve. These kits were supplied surreptitiously to Lucas factory technicians
as a trouble-shooting and repair aid for the rectification of
chronic electrical problems on a plethora of British cars. The smoke is metered,
through the fuse box, into the circuit which has released it's original smoke
until the leak is located and repaired. The affected circuit is then rectified
and the replacement smoke re-introduced. An advantage over the cheap repro smoke
kits currently available is the exceptionally rare Churchill metering valve and
fuse box adapter. It enables the intrepid and highly skilled British Car
Technician to meter the precise amount of genuine Lucas smoke required by the
circuit.
Unlike the cheap, far-eastern replacement DIYsmoke offered by the "usual
suppliers", this kit includes a filter to ensure that all the smoke is of
consistent size, It has been our experience in our shop that the reproduction Taiwanese
smoke is often "lumpy", which will cause excessive
resistance in our finely-engineered British harnesses and components. This is
often the cause of failure in the repro electrical parts currently available,
causing much consternation and misplaced cursing of the big three suppliers.
These kits have long been the secret weapon of the "Ultimate
Authorities" in the trade, and this may be the last one available. Be
forewarned, though, that it is not applicable to any British vehicle built after
the discontinuing of bullet connectors, so you Range Rover types are still on
your own...
This Genuine Factory Authorized kit contains enough smoke to recharge the
entire window circuit on a 420 Jaguar, and my dear friend and advisor George
Wolf of British Auto Specialty assures me that he can replace ALL the smoke in a
W&F Barrett All-Weather Invalid Car(147 CC) with enough left over to test a
whole box of Wind-Tone horns for escaped smoke. How much more of an endorsement
do you need?
More, you say? Well, I once let the smoke out of the overdrive wiring on my
friend Roger Hankey's TR3B, and was able to drive over 200 miles home from The
Roadster Factory Summer Party by carefully introducing smoke into the failed
circuit WITHOUT even properly repairing the leak. Another friend, Richard
Stephenson, was able to repair the cooling fan circuit of his Series 1 E-type by
merely replacing a fuse and injecting a small quantity of smoke back into the
wires. So there!
, Sh!t what just happened
