After closer inspection it would seem that the bearing plate has shifted making the bearing look off centre, there is still a fair bit of slop on the bearing so will drill out the rivets and check it out.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jace, could you pack it with something to stop it from moving? My Dad was a motor mechanic and often used a thin sheet of something which was gold in colour and could be cut with scissors. The name of it escapes me at the moment. Repco or one of then could probably advise you. Good luck with it.

Hi Dazle,
That is exactly what I have done. I just found some shim sheets and have used that. I am just waiting for the Loctite to dry and then I can reassemble. I will also be checking out the ammerture .
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Stolzie,
You need someone that has an armature growler to check it. Given that some auto elecs will tell you it is cheaper to buy a new generator or convert it to alternator, it may be hard to find one. A crusty old auto elec shop may have one AND, more importantly, someone that knows how to use it.
I think your Freeway one is the same, you could christmas tree that.........
Cheers, Paul

Hi Guys,
Well after a somewhat frustrating weekend attacking this bearing problem. I did as Paul suggested and Christmas tree'ed some older generators I had in my shed.
I pulled the ammerture and pulley setup out of another generator(labeled austin a40 12V C22XXX?) and chucked that into my existing setup outer field wires and shroud. I checked the A40 ammerture with the C40 and it is the same length and fitted without a hassle. Fitted it all back up and it seems to work.
One slight problem I did notice that the IGN light is very very dim on idle and disappears with slight revs. This will have to do until I can find a suitable replacement but at least I may be able to make it to the Wolseley Rally and yes Paul, I will be posting lots of pics on the Wolseley Forum.
Anyway will be burning the midnight oil this week to get everything else organised.
Cheers,
Jason

Cheers,
Jason | Hi Jason that is how it should work as at idle it isn't providing enough power to charge the battery but at as soon as you rev the light goes out as the charge is greater than the draw
