Mikes Speed Tuning Magneto Timing Cover

PAUL
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TIMING COVER MAGNETO SETUP I PICKED UP YESTERDAY. ITS A VERY NICELY CAST PIECE. I'M ASSUMING IT WORKS SIMILAR TO THE ARD MAGNETOS, BUT WITH A STANDARD PRE UNIT LUCAS MAGNETO. IT IS ALOT WIDER IN THE BELT DRIVE AREA THAN AN ARD MAG(SEE PIC). I WILL MOUNT IT LATER ON IN THE WEEK AND SEE WHAT I CAN FIGURE OUT. WONDERING IF YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF THE COMPANY OR HAVE ANY INFO ON IT AT ALL. I WOULD GUESS IT WAS BUILT FOR FLAT TRACK RACING. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS TODD

  2. Mike's Speed Tuning was owned by Mike Garrett, and was located in South Spring Valley, in mid 1970. I bought my first Norton from Mike. After I crashed I lost track of Mike, but I heard once that he had relocated to the Northern part of California (Not sure where). He did a lot of custom work, and this is obviously one of his pieces.
