(26-07-2018, 09:42 AM)Nigel was in Brittany Wrote: The reason I fitted one on my Ruby was I was using a Nippon Denso alternator that was for a Kubota mini digger and the Accuspark one looked better on the engine, the second one was for the Pearl as it did not have a dynamo or distributor when I bought the car. The Ruby one has had the timing gears replaced as they were damaged, I have not done the distributor end yet as I am laid up with a slipped disc, the second one has not been changed yet at either end as the body is still off the chassis and although the engine has been started it has not run for more than 5 minutes.
Sorry to hear you are unwell Nigel, I hope you feel better soon.
What reason/s did you have for choosing alternators over dynamos in the first place? I had not considered one in all the years I’ve used Sevens but I know people run with them. What was the appeal?
