Dynamator refurbishment
#18
Hi Dave,

Don't believe what is advertised, in my experience you can feel the tension if you ring up and mention A7's. They also now advertise a VW Beetle Bosch conversion. Hoping that this would be the same 3.5" body as the C35 I rang asking about spares for one, a diode pack and regulator. None available, if the there's a fault 'send it back with proof of purchase for an exchange'. I did feel rather guilty about the covert nature. One interesting thing came out of the conversation - the ignition light needs to be at least 2w, no LED's. It seems the resistance of the bulb in that circuit is crucial. A sidelight 5w bulb made no difference to mine.

I'm still trying to get to the bottom of why mine doesn't charge, any ideas from modern alternator experiences? The coils and diode pack seem to test OK and I can't find a regulator that triggers electricity, nor when I try to fool it by shorting 12v out or into the circuit.

Thank you, Dave
