The build of my PB hillclimb car progresses well but I have now reached the point where a couple of large items are clearly missing from my parts boxes.
I need a dynamo and a starter please.
So has anybody out there got either they are willing to part with? I well understand that I am likely to be looking at spare units which will need rebuilding and as long as that is reflected in the price I have no problem as long as the units are complete.
I am bumping this one back up the listings I'm afraid.
I now have a starter but am still looking for a dynamo. I have been offered a 6v in Germany and a great unit in Canada but both are going to incur significant carriage. Is there anybody with a suitable unit in the UK?
I got a 2 brush from Andy King and it's still going strong with a DVR3 regulator from Dynamo Regulators Ltd; http://www.dynamoregulators.com/index.php. It was some years ago but it might be worth trying him.
The reason Wolseley mounted the dynamo in such a daft position was that the weight of the armature acted as a damper on the vertical cam drive - so just using a shaft might give problems. That said, Bugatti used a simple shaft vertical drive and they work fine !
