Did Lucas Australia make the distributor cap for the MK 2 Cooper S? I understand the original colour of the cap should be black. What would be the part number inside the cap. Any info would be great thanks |

Yes I believe Lucas Australia did. They were used on other makes here also. Bosch equivalent is a GL278. Intermotor 46920. Lucas 62410373, according to eBay seller in UK. This may also be the Oz number, I am not sure. |

The 29D4 distributor came with a black Lucas Australia cap with the part number 62410456 embossed inside under the coil lead connector. The only caps readily available now are the Bosch brown ones. Attachment: 29D4 Cap c.jpg Attachment: 29D4 Cap b.jpg Attachment: 29D4 Cap a.jpg

My guess was cost! 23d4 from england as opposed to locally built 29d. They did that with most stuff didn't they? 2 screw tail lights example, interiors, rocker and timing covers. What ever could be made here and not shipped over could be a saving. |
