Hi all,
My 2 brush C35 with RB106 regulator won't reliably generate 12v without constant attention. The dynamo jumps out of the car itself when I whistle, it has been in and out so often. As a consequence, I've got used to getting round my longer journeys (eg the Beamish run, ~170 miles) on just what is stored in the battery with the red light staring unblinkingly at me. I know the battery is getting low when the petrol gauge starts sinking faster than it should do.
I know Dynamators got a bit of a pasting by some but by not having any charging at all, I feel knowing the weaknesses, I can make one work and be better off. I don't want to reopen the discussion on them with all the woes and recriminations or the other discussion about sticking to standard, I'm firmly wedded to 12 volts negative earth - I just want to try this modern solution myself.
Anyone got a 12v negative earth dynamator that is surplus to requirements? I've put an advert up in the 'Wants' section.
Thank you, Dave
