Dynamator or overhaul existing dynamo?

[Charles Levien]

Hi all,

I am about to do a bit of mechanical restoration on my 1935 Mk 1 Ruby, suspension, brakes and minor engine overhaul. She also needs a re-wire as the existing 6 volt wiring is a mess and probably unsafe. 

My question is do I send the existing dynamo off for overhaul or install one of the more modern 6 volt  dynamators from Accuspark? 

I am more than happy to keep her on the 6 volt system as it's part of her character. I am just looking at improving the overall reliability of the electrics. Any advice would be great fully received. 

Cheers,

Darren

Darren, you might consider restoring your original dynamo ( Vince Leek did a great job with mine) and fit LEDs as part of your re wiring. This will enable you to adjust the dynamo output down to the few amps required to keep your battery fully charged.
