Back on the Cup case....
Neil came over this afternoon to measure up some
Radiator dimensions for one he is getting made.
In the morning I made the last visible alloy panel
to sit atop the petrol tank. Standard method , paper template,
Transfer to plywood former, cut alloy panel oversize, form flange
with a selection of hammers. This panel with be held in position
By the wooden bonnet rest and wrap nicely round the tank
With rubber profile neatly finishing the bottom edge.
Charged up the new 6v battery and proved that the bacon slicer
looks a goer after cleaning the switch contacts.
In between times lacquered the new alloy panel and finish painted
The petrol tank after first putting in a pint of white spirit and some rough stones
And agitated for about 10 minutes, getting a fair amount of rust dust out
But second flush out pretty clear.
No leaks either!!! So tank can now be finally fitted, once the starter motor is installed
as access much easier without the tank in position.
I had previously dismantled and also cleaned the dynamo internals and fitted new brushes and thought
if I put 6v + on one terminal and earthed the casing it would spin( fast?)
but no, it barely turned.
This dynamo has the shunt resistance wires in a small housing on the casing.
My control panel has the summer winter charge settings and I think this dyno is
Compatible ?
Can’t figure out if this dynamo is OK but don’t otherwise
Know how to get it tested? Any suggestions gratefully received.
Plenty still to do.......
