Timothy Keith-Lucas Posted October 21, 2025 Posted October 21, 2025 It occurred to me that genuine Lucas wire harness smoke, which frequently causes me to evacuate my garage, is very expensive to replace and largely off the market, while we each have copious amounts of it but not in a container. That smoke must be returned or replaced in the wiring harness or we definitely will have to get home before dark. See https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mgb-and-gt-forum.1/electricity-is-smoke-electrical-theory-by.3765167/ for a short summary of Joseph Lucas’ theory that smoke is actually electricity. The obvious answer is that we recycle what we get naturally by owning a British car. But then, what do we put it in? The usual answer is a brown glass bottle. Most of us have a few empties sitting around, or can dig them out of the remains of our fire pit. Lucas smoke should always be stored in a light-resistant glass bottle, because no Lucas product can withstand exposure to strong light and the smoke would corrode any plastic container, no matter how inert. But then, your bubble-brained brother-in-law is sure to see a closed but unlabeled brown bottle and try to drink it. Yes, that would simplify your family. A few minutes with Adobe Illustrator resulted in a solution. Here are Lucas labels for positive and negative earth Lucas smoke. If you copy one into Word, you can resize it as needed. I hope that Sevens owners who have leaked and retrieved more than they need will offer replacement smoke to other forum members at a reasonable price. I reiterate the disclaimer that my family is in no way related to Joseph Lucas, a fact that may have prompted my grandmother to hyphenate our last name. LUCAS SMOKE NEG.pdf LUCAS SMOKE POS.pdf 1 2
wdb Posted October 21, 2025 Posted October 21, 2025 Same part number for each -- that could explain a lot!
Timothy Keith-Lucas Posted October 21, 2025 Author Posted October 21, 2025 I'll go back and add a digit. Thanks for noticing that I forgot that. There. Since all the manufacturers that started with positive earth got on the same bandwagon with negative earth, I figure the negative earth wire harness smoke should have the higher number.
