The correct magdyno Lucas ms1 4 is at home ! It was very expensive, but i am happy ..

Good that you could get it. Nev

I don't know whether the rib in the centre of the guards is correct or not. Around 1930 they didn't have it. Nev

The mudguards should be plain as my very original 32 Sloper showes.

Nice to se the brass cover on the generator enamelled black as they were. The polished brass and copper look is for steam engines. Rudge did leave fuel and oil pipes in later models unplated as plating makes them more inclined to break. Nev

Here is a 4 valve Red hunter and motorcycle has the same mudguards like to my bike..

I saw more photos vg 32 or vh 32 with my mudguards.

Hi, congratulations for the bike!
I have a VG32 too. If you have any questions, please ask!
My email is

I see, that you have the same problem with the speedometer - it is not connected and will not work...
I do not have seen a 4-Valve with a working speedometer jet.
Best regards

And the rear mudguard is correct. I have the same.

Are you sure, that MS1 is the correct magdyno?
Where have you read that?
Is not the MDB correct for this bike?
Best regards
Hristo

Hello Hristo,

problem with speedometer and speedo drive is resolved.

Can you upload photo of your VG?

MDB monoblock magdyno is for older bike (1928 - 1930 ). MS1 4 is correct for year 1932. I check a lot of photos VG 32 and MS1 4 is correct.
