Thanks folks, I'm getting to the point where I should listen to sense and not go down the 'old' route... We'll see, it is now in the hands of someone who has been on electrics for 50 years.... and even he said " Have you thought about an alternator?" !! : D

Thanks geoberni,
That's pretty much what I've been following but with strange voltage peaks and troughs (from 18v to 2 volts) and is driving me bonkers. I'm obviously not cut out for this and declare myself very diddley squattish...

This is for the 50's Trials Car with A Series engine which I am (still) renovating with its original electrics I've had to renew. Auto electricians look at it in horror and suggest Alternators etc because they don't understand 'Old School' electrics... I'm trying to set up the new Voltage Regulator ...

Thanks for looking out guys. Kevin S; A friend has pointed one out on ebay and I've ordered it. Next it'll be off to an engineer to be re-drilled to take 6-bolt Marina crank. As long as I get that right and not have it wanting to escape the bell housing I might be on the way. An engineers blueprint ...

Thanks again for the advice Phil, I think you've saved me a lot of time. I'll go the 948 flywheel way if I can. Now all I have to do is find one... :D I have plenty of internals that would be useful to club members so I'll see if I can swap/exchange on the Free section. Anyone out there with a flywh...

Gosh Phil, that was quick. THANK you very much, For your patience - if we ever meet - I owe you a pint.

God, they're rather big...

2 hours on Wednesday, 1 hour on Thursday, mental break on Friday... Have I actually added a photo?

Taken photos and it's taken me 2 hours longer to try to attach them than it has taking the gearbox out... :D One photo is 1.1mb so I think I'm overloading the system. I'm stumped, I look on with envy at all the other photos posted... if it's any help Phil, the crank width is 3", the gearbox dri...

Righto, will do, I'll be back after I've unbolted the gearbox etc & I've never downloaded a photo, this might take a little time... Thanks Phil.

I have a Trials car which was abandoned in Wales after an exhausting life and at some point herding sheep!! Its engine was an 850 A Series with a 'smooth case' 3 - speed Mowog gearbox. It's certainly from the 1950's. Back axle is Mowog too. I would like to enter it with The Historic Sporting Trials....
