The utterly reliable Ribblesdale lads have had to say goodbye to their magneto expert, who seems to have decided on a new career. Thus they no longer offer any services. Who knows of a good source for magneto rewinding? I know of two places who will only do magnetos for motorbikes or Morgans, refusing to do 4 cyl magnetos. A well know ERA driver advertises magneto work, but for many years has subcontracted that to a workshop in the New Forest whose current delivery time is very distant indeed. Any suggestions?

I've not got personal experience, but have heard good reports about Vintage Magnetos at Bicester Heritage.

I have no personal experience, but have heard the opposite, which is why for myself and other Chummy stranglers I asked this question!

Thanks for the suggestion which will be followed up.

My single experience of Armoto was excellent.

armoto did a really good job on one of mine. Only thing I would say is take it well before you want it - his waiting times are long. That alone is a good sign in my book.

I have had a mag (non-A7) fully rebuilt by Adrian Gorvin in Devon. I was very pleased with his work which included a rewind.
