MG TD TF 1500 - Distributors

Got these today from my Friend who apparently has a lot of Lucas Distributors, not sure what they fit

1 X DKY4A 40081B CH28 1-49 rotates anti clock wise
2 X D2A 40402J CW 67 6 -55.
! X DKZ4A 40164D P74 1-55.
All in good condition ie no loose housings

I picked out one of the D2A 40402J with the intention of sending it to Jeff at Advance Distributors, it is in pristine condition but it does not have the cut away for the locking bolt, it had a clamp attached does anyone know if it possible to machine the groove for the lock bold into it.

George, for future reference, most people add multiple photos to the first post rather than start 4 new posts with one photo each. To do that you just "Submit" the first post then reopen that published post and add a new picture to it with the "Upload" button below. Then submit it again and do the same with the other pictures. This way the reader can see all your photos in context of the original question.
Not exactly state of the art but it works.

Sorry mate I know what to do and it was my intention to do just that but it would not work for me this time

I would guess it would be easy, mic the outside to see it will be the same length and width, also check the bush lengths, as when it comes to reconditioning the standard bushs might not fit.

George the 40081B (1948/1954) is from either a Healey, Lea Francis or Riley, the 40402J (1953/1959) is from a Ford Anglia or Prefect (& is listed as a D2A4) but the 40164D is not listed however the 40164A/B (1939 to 1952) is off either a Bedford, Vauxhall or Wyvem. I've emailed you a copy of the complete Lucas distributor production list. Cheers

40402J is listed as fitting TVR (1959-1960)

Ian my list was compiled by TDC Engineering in 2006 & makes no mention of the TVR. It seems we have different source material. Apart from the 2 Fords mentioned above the 40402A/N was also fitted to the 10hp industrial engine 100E. If you contact me offline at pjbm at bigpond dot com I'll email you the complete TDC Lucas list, which numbers in the thousands. Cheers

Email on way

My list for 40402J is for TVR (Ford engine). However it does not specify which engines.
