Busy this weekend rebuilding the dynamo and starter this weekend.
Stripped the 500L dynamo apart. Gave it a good clean up and a lick of paint. The brushes and commutator were all in very good condition. Mind you the car hadn't done that many miles and the majority of mechanical parts were all very solid and serviceable. The bearings were nice and smooth and so I felt it best to keep the original ones.
Came out rather nice. just need to paint the pulley mount and purchase a new pulley. After my previous disaster using the old one, I realise some things just aren't worth keeping - not when there is a new one available.
