Hi Colin,
It has just dawned on me. The bracket is for the separate dynamo which charges the wireless batteries. I will send a picture shortly. regards, Richard

The wireless battery charging circuit is separate from the main vehicle circuit and is fed through the rotary base junction to the batteries under the basket floor. The hole in the bracket is for a dowel in the CAV dynamo casing to locate it in the correct position, same on other vehicles of the period.
Here is part of the circuit diagram;

It is an Australian Tank Colin. That bracket is about the right size for the old 750ml steel beer can. Don’t be fooled by anything else.

So I was nearly there with post #504. It looked a bit like a CAV starter mount. That's why I suggested a generator (not knowing there were two.
I was thinking it must be for the flux capacitor for a while.

I think you're all trying to confuse me. You give me three shovels and tell me to take a pick
  . Seriously thaks for the input and Richard you have answered it. So that means that there should be another shaft that is belt driven off the engine. Some of the above comments have opened up some info for me. I just picked up my engine yesterday as I got sick and tired of waiting for the Mech to work on it. I am going to restore it myself. It can't be that difficult I'm sure I will get all the answers if I need them. I will start diss-assembling the engine today and post some photos.Colin.

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.
