*WTB URGENT* Lucas generator and regulator suit grey EJ

[DanFranko]

Hiya Holden Guru's

I am hoping one of you kind souls can help me out. My gennie has finally crapped out in the EJ, and the replacement i built...well let's not go there. Anyway those gennies/reg were actually a bosch off an EH red, which required modifying the bracket to suit the grey.

I want to go back to a lucas setup, so i need both the gennie and the regulator. I would prefer something that is known to be a good runner, but i could settle for a pair that need to be rebuilt and go down that route.

I can get the pair off ebay from our favourite seller, but i will end up close to $800 in the hole...seeing i don't have exchange units tho, its probably not all that unreasonable?

Would prefer a perth pickup, but happy to pay packing/post for worthwhile units.

Any help greatly appreciated, as the ol girl is now paralysed in the garage

cheerio and thanks

Hey Dan,
Reckon I've seen a few of those bits advertised on Gumtree but suspect there nowhere near you (other side of the map). Post a heavy genny wouldn't be cheap!

Thanks Stephen. They do seem to pop up intermittently, but for the gennie at least, the postage is probably as much as the purchase price!

The hunt continues!

Thanks to a forum member I have a regulator on the way. Still after a generator if anyone can help??

G'day Dan,

I'll take a look in the spare parts department on the weekend, though I suspect the only Lucas unit I have left is the one that the NRMA let the magic smoke out of .

Cheers,
Harv

Haha thanks Harv. Much appreciated

Just bumping this for the weekend to see if there's a rouge generator out there

Sorry Dan - as suspected, the only Lucas gennie I have has been burnt out (needs a rewind). Welcome to it if it helps. The only decent spare I have is a Bosch.

Cheers,

Hi Harv. Thanks for looking. Will let you know if I need one to rebuild. Appreciate the offer

Hi Dan,

There are some genies on Gumtree, unfortunately in Vic but price is reasonable. I have dealt with this lady before and she was very helpful and a bit flexible on price too. Might be worth checking on freight to the West?

Thanks Stephen. Might be worth a shot!!

Thanks again to the forum members that offered to help. I now have a regulator and have sourced a correct C40 gennie for an EJ from over east. With luck all will bolt on and work, if not i now have what I need to get rebuilt.

Cheers Dan
