Default Dynamo mounting

Hi, just pm'd an email to Colin, yes the second dynamo is shown on the circuit diagram, and for those who have seen the drawings that Colin is using, the dynamo in question is drawn very faintly on sheet 18, you can just make out the outline of it....

As I said, very much a case of not seeing the wood for the trees....

George.

Although I was quite angry the mechanic never did what he was supposed to, I am happy to have it home and see first hand what it is like.

I guess it is a bit like the transmission, it looks worse than what it is and again the bolts are all coming out. That's one benefit of steel bolts in a aluminium casting.
