Default LUCAS, the princely parts

Jim,

I've got the LUCAS period catalogues. Are you looking for ALL the LUCAS parts that fit the COBRA260/289/427/428 cars, if so I'll try to find and combine a few old lists I have in handwritten notes of the day.

It will take a few days, however. For instance the OEM boxes I have note the tailight item assembly as a 53XXX number not the current L-467 that you see today. I really do not know if the new Lucas system is cross referenced with their current stocking method, since they are on computer and use a very different system today. The old method used the part number in total for locating, storing, shipping, and costing. It would have been a night mare to have in the late 80's/early 90's to have switched their old inventory over to their new method of filing.

[maybe weeks with my filing system! the notes are for specific cars]
