Lucas starter motor

Postby twin wheel camper » Sat Jan 21, 2023 4:57 pm

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a starter solenoid for the big Lucas starter?
Or a part number or something?
Does this type of starter share the solenoid with anything else?
Any info appreciated.

I don't know the part number, but they are fitted to other vehicles, I've found one on a starter from a tractor that fitted, some have the part number on the side if you are lucky,
this might help https://www.autoelectricalspares.co.uk/ ... -232-c.asp

Thanks I’ll try and find the correct part but unfortunately the starter is reconditioned and it’s painted all black with out any stickers with parts numbers showing.
I’ll have to keep searching for it online.

I've been looking for a solenoid for a while. I have a perfect starter on the shelf with a dead solenoid.

I have the part no squirreled away on an ebay search and nothing has come up for ages.

Thanks for that.
I’ve got sorted off eBay.
I took a chance on buying what looked like the same solenoid and it fitted and it’s working perfectly.
This is what I bough and fits perfectly Starter Motor HC Cargo 131785
