Dynamators Gear Wear & Reliability

[Steve Jones]

I wish there was a source of good dynamos

There is. But you have to accept that a properly re-conditioned dynamo isn't cheap. However, once done, it's likely to out-live you.

Armoto? dynamo and regulator conversions?

Vince Leek.

[JoeRowing]

Awesome - Thanks.

[Steve Jones]

Yes, Vince Leek or Armoto. There's also a company near Preston who seem to do a good job as well but I can't remember their name off hand.

Ribblesdale auto electrical ?

I went through three Dynamator units which all failed in a very short time. I did use the original Austin drive gears but I could tell by the sound that it was meshing too tightly, I cured the meshing problem by experimenting with thicker gaskets.
Once I'd got it running OK I was initially very pleased with the performance of the Dynamator but each one failed in a few weeks.
Fortunately I had resisted the temptation of selling my original dynamo to recoup some of the costs and eventually sent it to Dynamo and Regulators in Lincoln.
I also purchased one of their electronic regulators and since fitting both have had no problems.

Our Dynamator is still performing faultlessly, after 4 years and about 6000 miles.

I think it must one of very few that does do what it should, however.
