British UCs had the Lucas distributor installed, see page 213 of universal Carriers vol1, not sure when that started. Page 39 of new vanguards Universal Carrier 1936-48 shows a Flathead being lifted out/in of a mk2* and it has the crab distributor....once over in Europe anything went to keep them running and in action.

Pretty sure the mechanics would far prefer dealing with the remote mounted coil as opposed to the dual cap style, especially in a carrier. Both were available and interchangeable....I know which one I would have installed when the opportunity presented itself.
While the manual only shows the one, I have seen either style come off relics over the years. Last edited by rob love; 24-08-13 at 19:14. |

Rob, did you mean the divers helmet type? As you would know, the Crab has a remote coil already.
Alastair, I would have thought that by the time of D day the supply of Lucas type dizzys would have been sorted, along with REME's familiarity and favour with them, just as I think the RCEME would have favoured the Divers helmet type that they were used to.

Yep...typed faster than I was thinking. I'll amend the post and deny it ever happened.
