dynamator

[Ian Williams]

Call me a luddite if you like but someone needs to mention the Elephant in the room. Accuspark have done a great job of marketing this item, but how many of the owners who rushed out to buy a dynamator and now have extensive damage to their engines actually needed one? Very very few I would suggest! I also think it sad that Accuspark have once again shown that they take a very poor attitude to product development and customer service. I do agree with those like Rory and John who are saying we should not discourage companies reproducing much needed spares, but this "innovation" would to my mind seem unnecessary. I have spent 35 years driving Austin sevens, always on 6v dynamos and I have never had any serious failure, flung solder, stranded at night etc, etc. I admit that I do not ever drive any significant distance in the dark, but who does these days, not many if any, and with LED's which incidentally are an "innovation" to my mind I would have no problem if it did. There I have said it, someone needed to, so go ahead a shoot me down.
