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.

Mk1 S had a 23D4 dizzy with side entry cap. Most? Mk2 S were 29D with top entry.

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.
