New Giulietta Lucas Style Generators

["John Basel" <basel@ma.ultranet.com>]

I noticed that Moss Motors (a British car parts vendor, 800-235-6954) 
lists a Lucas style generator for sale.  It appears to be a nearly 
exact replacement for the stock Giulietta normale generator.  The only 
apparent differences are the different end plate material and the use 
of spade connectors (I've seen both spade and threaded types on 
Giuliettas).  My 60 spider normale uses part number 22258, so I think 
there is a typo (extra 2) in the ad.  Price seems to be very 
reasonable.

Excerpt from the ad in Spring 98 Moss Motoring magazine/catalog:

"Lucas Style Generator.  Replaces original Lucas types 222258 and 
22700.  Fits MGA, MGB... {and lots of other British cars}... These are 
brand new generators of the 1960-67 type, with straight (non-stpped 
solid cases and Lucar (spade-type) connectors.  They also feature cast 
iron instead of diecast zinc alloy end plates... 
   140-200      $74.95"

(I don't own any British cars, but have found some other good 
substitutes in their catalogs.)
