Subject: Re: magneto for 2 litre
I have a Scintilla GN 4 on my 2 Litre and a spare one in the boot (from Alan Fairbrother whom I mentioned before), not only because the car came with it but also because there is a 2 page description and user guide for this very magneto printed as "addendum" in my copy of the Lagonda 2 Litre Owners Manual. That means that Lagonda recommended this magneto, and indeed, it is not a "large lump" at all but fits perfectly; the holding plate and clamps are exactly the correct size (see the picture in my previous posting). Certainly, there are smaller magnetos but these would not fit as well on MY car, I would have to change the holding clamps etc. Also, I have seen 2 Litres with magnetos larger than my GN 4. I add a picture, I do not know what marque magneto this is but it's significantly "lumpier" than mine. Still, it seems to fit.
