I've had other things happening with the car but have at last returned to the dynamo and in the meantime some new brushes arrived from club stock so after fitting them I now have about 10 amps net which is a great result considering the old ones looked just fine and measured OK as well. So now I have adjusted the 3rd brush to a max of 8 amps.
The built in resistor that is in the field coils on this model was measuring 0 ohms so no charging on Summer setting so I have fitted an external 3 ohm 50W resistor hidden under the dash, now on Summer setting it's doing about 2-3 amps so all good there.
Serves me right for over complicating a simple fix.
