Australia Day and a little bit of progress
Australia Day on saturday, traveled to Melbourne to drop parents off at the Airport, also visited the RACV motorshow in the park. VMVC members there with their Jeeps and some very nice cars. Little bit cool and not as many cars as I remember from the previous years.
Have stripped the started motor and generator and checked and cleaned up. Starter motor has a bent armature and bearings will need to be replaced, but otherwise everything else in it is good to use.
The 2 brush generator requires new bearings and it should be good, buffed it up and will undercoat it and give it a coat of gloss black. Will check in town tomorrow for the bearings.
