Lucas is longer, has Lucas, model (C42x or C45x) voltage, direction of rotation, year and month. stamped in the case. Ron's regulator is a Lucas RB108 (or similar) The Lucas can be converted to 12 volt by fitting the correct 12 volt armature (if you could find one)
The above statement is wrong. Brain fade.
The Lucas generator is converted to 12 volt by changing the 6v field coils for 12 v field coils. The 6v armature works fine in a 12 volt system (but a 12 volt one cant cope in a 6v system)
