The car was negative earth with the alternator, but I wanted it to be original, so I've connected it up as positive earth? I'll try that tomorrow and report back. Before the alternator is was positive and the generator sat on a shelf for four maybe five years?

Further developments; I've done the test in the car, no voltage 0v. The dynamo is pretty new and clean. The brushes move fine but ive not taken them out or investigated further. Do you think its worth changing the brushes, or just bite the bullet and get a new dynamo? I'm inclined to get a new dynam...

By that do you mean the 'testing the dynamo in the car' as outlined in the workshop manual?

The plot thickens! I took off the fanbelt and then closed the right hand (as you look at the car) contact on the control box, a soft clunk from the dynamo, but no turning of the dynamo. I've taken off the dynamo and the brushes appear fine, clean and moving freely. I've checked the wiring connection...

sorry stupid question I figured out which terminal is which

Which one is the field terminal? the smaller spade terminal or the big one?

I have a newly restored 1970 Traveller that is not charging, the ignition light is on all the time. The dynamo is fairly new, from Lucas, but hasnt been used for 3.5 years.

I have 2 P clips to go back on, but no reference as to were to put them, or whether I have got this wiring right as it looks a bit untidy. Can anyone advise please?

Hello, I've fitted the stainless steel window frames to the doors on my 1970 Traveller. I'm aware that this is going to leak at the spot where the rear of the stainless frame goes into the door shell. I had some perished bits of rubber when I took the door apart which I assume were the seal for this...

I'm not sure what to do about the handbrake cables on my 1970 Traveller. I have replaced the old cables with new ones from ESM. The photo below is with the handbrake lever pulled up 5 clicks. The rear brakes shoes are adjusted although the RH side ones (lower cable in the picture) could probably do ...

Thanks one and all for the advice

I have a 1970 Traveller with the late type heater 5e43c0cfdc80b-heater-2-copy.jpg It doesnt work. It appears to be an earthing fault, I have a 12 volt feed going in on the green and yellow wire that goes directly into the heater motor. I assumed it earths through the body of the heater and the bolts...
