Another hive request with zero Spridget relevance!
I am fed up with our battery powered doorbell which consumes large old D size batteries at a ridiculous rate and is non working far more often than functional. After a rough 30 year relationship its time to move on.

I see modern doorbells are rather more sophisticated. By which I mean unfathomable, complex and need a modicum of resear...

I ordered a new slave and adapter from MGOC. Arrived today. The slave is correct but adapter is wrong. As usual I have been barking up the wrong tree. I don't need an adapter, I only need a 7/16" tube nut for 3/16" tube. I didn't know such a thing was obtainable, but it is and I have ordered it.

I have brought the loom to the back of the horn then fitted a relay (covered here in plastic shroud.) more or less on the mounting bracket.

I've declined.

So it's either mgoc or moss.

Are moss springs the same as mgoc?

I thik moss have stock...

Hi Tony

Does anyone have access to Lucas Part Numbers for Dynamo Component parts - bearings - bushes - armatures - end plates - etc - etc.

I have a neighbour with a good supply of Lucas NOS component parts in original packaging, but no catalogue to know what they fit.

Richard,

That is a very kind offer but my Sprite has a 4.22 diff so I don't think I will be able to use yours but I will keep it in mind.

Many Thanks.
