Magdyno
71 97 999 X0

magdyno to replace old Lucas  magdyno MO1 units
on motorcycles such as
Gold Star, Ariel, Panther, Triumph 3HW, Matchless G50, AJS 7R and many others (not for Royal Enfield, there is a problem with fitting the cog on the shaft)

with digital advance
The unit to replace the flat mount Lucas magdyno is on the basis of our Bosch-type replacement. That means a optical deviation from the Lucas unit. It does however have the correct axle height of 44.6mm and the correctly positioned dowel ( or screw) fastening holes at the bottom. Axle taper is 1:5 (as on most Lucas and Bosch units).

recommended add-ons

   


For improoved optics (more originality) bwe offer an add-on (dummy) contact breaker housing and springpost to hold it. Those parts are not needed for any function and have merely optical value. They are NOT part of the standard pack, but are optional extras.
