Here is the locating bolt B - and a suitably small oiler. If I drill right down through the bolt with a small bit and then drill a larger diameter part way in order to press fit the oiler, will this do the job satisfactorily?

Should be fine. Tricky bit will be finding the right diameter drill to get a good press fit on the oiler, I'd try it out on a non-important bolt first.

I'll try and find and attach a picture I have of an original "Bolt B" when I get home.

Nick  Heating the aluminium housing with a hot air gun once relevant fixings have been removed will help if the dynamo is stubborn

Thanks Dave - it came out without difficulty. Now I am trying to understand why someone would go to the expense and trouble of having the engine rebuilt and then put the dyno in with leads connected to the brush carriers - but two brushes non-existent! No wonder there is no charge...
Thanks Parazine, that would be very helpful.

The hexagon is 1/4 Whitworth and the thread is 7/16 BSF. Total length 3/4", plain part 1/4", thread 1/4", hexagon 3/16", oiler sticks out 1/16".

Plain part is 1/4" dia., hole is 1/8" dia.

Wouldn't it be easier just to buy one off the shelf? See BG8/9 here: www.a7c.co.uk/spares.php#electrical
