JM magneto rubber shroud

[Hugz]

This is quite interesting. Recently received this magneto plate from England (thank Martin). Interesting rubber shroud at the HT connection position. Effective in keeping water out. Provenance unknown, no JM number. Anyone seen this before?

Without (different plate)

Quick edit: That sleeve on one of my Australian Seasprites

Good info Bruce. Wonder if somebody added it at a later stage? Rubber is in good nick..... too good.

[seagull101]

Seen that too

[Hugz]

On what motor Jacob? JM?

[Horsley-Anarak]

Yes have seen that on most early ones.

[seagull101]

Yeah Hugo, Might have been my Marston... really cant remember

[Hugz]

Could be a marston thing. I have 5 SD JM magnetos and this is the first I've seen of it.

[Horsley-Anarak]

I have had 2 SDs with it

You can just see it in this picture.

And see it perfectly in this other SD picture.

[Hugz]

Yes indeed!

The only thing I can see in the wartime parts book is the felt washer between the Bakerlite HT lead end & the base plate.
