Thanks folks for all the comments, my naivety with regards all things electric knows no bounds, and so was wary of tackling repairing the broken wire on the original dynamo, it seemed a bit of a bodge, but having both dynamos on the bench and stuck between for me a rock and a hard place, decided to give the repair a go, and success.
Did not appreciate the wire simply ran from the brush to the D terminal and so was able to re-use the original fixing and simply soldered in a new wire, shrink wrapped it and fed it through to the terminal, simples doh!
All back together again now, running smoothly, and no rattles.
I also noted when I first removed the original dynamo that all the fixings on the dynamo were loose and the paper gasket, soaked in oil, slipped straight off. So with a new gasket plus some hylomer and all bolts tight I seem to have cured a significant oil leak too.
Thanks again for the comments and to Peter for the tip on photos
Cheers
