Hi Robin
They put refurbished dynamos and starters on eBay from time to time. I bought one about a year ago and as I had a tachometer drive on the original dynamo I sent them the distributor end casting from the old dynamo and asked them to fit it and to send back the end casting with the new dynamo. I did this for guarantee purposes. If I changed the end casting I doubt they would accept liability if the dynamo failed.
The dynamo was sent quickly with the tachometer drive end piece installed but not the unadulterated end casting. I messaged him and was promised the end casting in the post. Still not arrived!
The dynamo works OK but I was annoyed that I now have a dynamo without a dizzy casting rendering it useless.
Cheers
Howard
