NEWS FLASH - March 2020 As you will understand, with the Covid-19 pandemic shutting down most normal business, we are not able to despatch orders for the time being. Thank you for your patience. We shall resume operations as soon as we possibly can.
Brightspark Magnetos
Take a look at some of the equipment we
use in our workshop for magneto servicing
and overhauls.
Our patented EasyCap� is a simple
replacement for the condenser (capacitor) in
many ignition systems, focusing especially on
that old problem, the deeply-buried condenser
found in all rotating-coil magnetos. Once
fitted, the EasyCap becomes a routine service
item. Initial installation does require the
old condenser to be disconnected. We provide
detailed instructions in our 'condensectomy'
pages on how to do that. We also provide
downloadable drawings for those of you who
wish to make the required puller tool
yourselves.
We also sell our Brightspark� range of
specially-selected, top-quality, British-made
slip rings and pick-ups for Lucas and BTH
magnetos. Pick-up brushes of the highest
quality are also available, of the correct
grade to avoid carbon deposits on the slip
ring.
From time to time we have complete
magnetos available for sale or in
part-exchange. At any one time, we reckon to
have a small choice of reconditioned
instruments available for immediate use, and a
further selection that can be reconditioned on
demand to 'perfectly functional' or 'as-new'
to suit the needs of a customer.
Photo-sequences of stripping and
rebuilding magnetos and of how to extract an
old-style capacitor (the 'condensectomy') and
replace it with an EasyCap.
Free access to service and repair
information aggregated from many sources.
Parts lists and workshop instructions, not
only for magnetos, but also classic motorcycle
dynamos, regulators, alternators and
rectifiers (and wiring diagrams) of use to all
classic owners. Links to some interesting
books, learn�d papers and patents on
magnetos and capacitors (for those who wish to
read more deeply).
Downloadable drawings, all for free, for
making your own bearing and slip-ring pullers;
patterns for shims, gaskets and bearing
insulators; and timing discs.
From the basic to the complex - some
relating to our products, others more general
- there's a lot of stuff in our frequently
asked questions, some of which isn't to be
found elsewhere on the internet or in the
books.

All
of which is the product of Brightspark Magnetos Ltd's
long practical experience of working on magnetos and
classic vehicles generally.
We
wish to 'demystify and simplify' wherever we can, so
that more owners can not only maintain their magnetos,
but enjoy doing it, with confidence, relying on the
detailed support we offer.
