After spending several hours (over 2 - 3 days) trying to sort out the dynamo / fan I'm finally getting somewhere, although I do have a further question.
Got the dynamo mounted on the engine cover, after modifying the alloy mounting that the strap arrangement fits on, turned the hole for the nylon pin into a slot as there was no way on earth the pin would go in the hole. After experimenting with several combinations of shims / washers etc I've finally got the dynamo turning and the fan is not rubbing on the mounting half of the engine cover. However I have found that if I tighten the bolt that holds the fan on much more than finger tight the whole dynamo 'binds up' and refuses to turn.
Is the remedy to this to put a nyloc nut on the shaft, or put 2 nuts on locked together?
I've got a set of crows foot spanners that should make the 2 nuts option possible.
As usual any assistance / help gratefully received.
