Lynx I MkIII purchase

[Alastair Thomas]

I robbed a 6v dynamo of its armature, tidied up its commutator and rebuilt the dynamo.
I was on my own so could not lift the engine cover by myself but instead used three chain hoists.
The dynamo is now fitted and will be tested in the next day or so.
A couple of points to note:
1. I measured the resistance from the field connection to earth on both the 6v and 12v dynamos and they came out at approximately 4.5 Ohms and 9 Ohms respectively.
2. I am very familiar with the Lucas C45 P dynamo having owned a number of 1940s and 1950 British cars running on 12v. However, I noted during this exercise that one of my 6v (clearly marked as such) dynamos was a Lucas C45P. It must be said that this is the first time I have come across such a beast. It came with a Ford V8 Flat Head engine I bought and, according to my Lucas spares book must have been fitted to one of the early Allard cars.
