Making some new lockers
I have a selection of some original panels to use as a guide and template and also have measured up to produce some simple CAD details in 2D.
The first item to be made was a mirror of the front top part of the rear lockers, which came out pretty good. More panels to follow in due course.

She isn't charging
The red light is staying lit on my control panel.
 Belts are tight!  I need to run some checks on the generator output and generator panel, but wondered if people had had similar experiences with their RR B engines. I have a Generator and Panel. Both No1 Mk1. Ta

The points in your Generator Panel probably need a good clean. They tend to "varnish" up being in a sealed unit. A bit of wet/dry may not good be enough as the coating may be quite hard, I happened to have a small diamond file which finally did the trick. It took an Industrial Elec. mate of mine 8 hours to workout how the electrical system was supposed to work and what the problem was, the first thing we had done was clean the points, but at the end of the day it turned out that we had only polished them, not cleaned them.
Got caught with a charging issue on Champ last year, the yellow and red dash bezells had been swapped, which was surprisingly confusing...... Rich.

I've now taken off the generator and it will work like a motor when connected to a 24v supply, as suggested in the EMER. I suspect the issue could now be with the generator panel, so I will look into your suggestion. The Piggy had been stood for years before I bought her, so it's possible and worth further exploration. I'll update the thread once I have done some more investigating. In the meantime thanks for the comments

We have Charging
After some trials and tribulations we now have a Pig that's charging.
Initially at 34v output, but after a session of adjustment on the voltage regulator and the cut out I have 27.5v. Just need to do a full 'Load' test when lights all connected etc to check voltage output and current regulator working as they should. Moving onto brakes next

Slower than liked progress
I haven't been doing as much as I hoped on the Humber, or my Land Rover Mk8 FFR, due to a few factors.
I have however got my Humber charging again with a take-off Genny Panel from Clive. Also I have replaced the down-pipe and fitted a new silencer, so need to photo those. I have been working on the gearbox and side compressor recently whilst sorting out the lack of brakes! Leading to a compressor and gearbox full of awful crud..... Lots of rinsing out was needed..... Overhauled two master cylinders now and also refurbed the clutch header reservoir that I believe was originally black and then painted beige, so if anyone knows the correct colour in the cab area then please let me know.

Brakes Overhaul
As part of the work on the braking system I had to have this manufactured for me. Nice job done by an engineer that makes gearboxes for Rolls Royce as one of his contracts......
  I will be able to re-assemble the hubs without damaging the oil seals or inner bearing Lovely to see it wrapped in oiled paper......
