Hi, I’ve just got my engine back in the car after having the timing gears replaced. Unfortunately another problem appeared. I replaced both gears on the  dynamater with my original Austin gears. This resulted in lots of backlash in the dynamo drive. Swapped the gears back to my dynamo & found almost no backlash. Had to machine about 8 thou off the dynamo housing to get correct mesh. It appears the armature on the new unit is slightly out of centre. When the unit arrived from B.B. classics the connection block was towards the fan & radiator but it was easy to turn the end plate 180 deg. Done about 100 miles so far, everything appears as it should be, the original fitting took less mileage to destroy the timing gears. I wonder what their answer to this problem will be?

Kevin.
