The Lucas 45D4 body offers a number of improvements over the old 25d Models. Solid mounting area prevents crushing when the mounting ring is tightened A longer rotor arm allows greater spacing of ignition wires that helps prevent arking an improved cam profile (only relevant when points fitted). This is a good as other systems costing between 3 and 6 times as much. Developed and designed Based on original Lucas Design. Recently manufactured rotor arms have been failing due to poor design and cheap materials.

Notably, the rivet which holds the brass inlay into the molding has proved to be an unreliable method of construction. The high tension current, averaging 30,000 volts, is always looking for the easiest route to earth and shorts down through the rivet. Based on the original, more reliable 1960's design, but made from modern engineering grade polypropylene with the latest manufacturing techniques to high tolerances. These LUCAS STYLE RED ROTOR ARMS will not let you down. The brass contact is inlaid to dispense with the troublesome rivet used on most versions, this rivet can run very close to the centre cam and is known to cause failure by short-circuiting. The superior insulation of the body makes them suitable for use with Electronic ignitions and high output coils. The new spring steel clip, in conjunction with a revised high manufacture tolerance, assures a really good fit.
