Battery.
The Lucas 12 volt Battery Type GTWllA 64 amp. hrs. is situated below R.H.
rear seat.
This location is preferable to under Bonnet fixing as fluid evaporation
is far less rapid and consequently the "topping up" operation is less frequently
required. When the acid level falls below the top of the plates, distilled water should
be added until the plates are again covered. Keep the battery terminals clean and
tight and well smeared with petroleum jelly. This will protect the terminals from
corrosion, which if allowed to continue unchecked, will result in a break in the
battery circuit.
It is important that the battery be firmly secured in its supporting brackets at
all times.
When removing or replacing battery, remove clamp bar and bolts away
from well, otherwise bolts may be bent by the weight of the battery.
Headlamps.
Each headlamp incorporates a Lucas light unit which consists essentially of a
combined reflector and front glass assembly provided with a mounting flange by
means of which it is secured to the body housing. The bulb which is a Lucas Prefocus
type is located accurately in the reflector and is secured by a bayonet fixed
bacl<shell,
which also provides the contact to the bulb. The design of the bulb is such that
it
is correctly positioned in relation to the reflector and no focusing
is
required when
a replacement bulb is fitted.
