Jack's Auto Ignition specializes in rebuilding LUCAS alternators, generators and starters for British cars including the renowned Jaguar. The categories below contain information about our unique services.
Alternators
XKE/MarkX - 10AC and 11C Alternators Of special interest to the owner of the XKE or Mark X are the 10AC and 11AC alternators. These formerly problem alternators have been improved with our unique modifications that make them long lasting and dependable. Part of our unique process includes the installation of a specially cast brass rectifier with heavy-duty diodes to replace the infamous original aluminum rectifier that was known for burning out. Another Jack's Auto improvement is an upgrade to a heavy gage wound stator that is sturdier than the original.
