Great job! There are a few of us who enjoy repairing things just to prove it can be done. Thanks.

Great post Dick, this will be a huge help to loads of people with these Lucas Dynamo's. Thanks for posting.

Thank you John, I appreciate your kind comments. DC

A very quick and simple job made even easier because all the parts are still available. Just tap the spindle end on the workbench to shift the end caps of bang it with your hands. Like you show in your video, gently does it. I must say at this point, the Indian made brush plates on ebay dont fit, the brush holders are too tight and the screw holes dont line up.

Just rebuilding my E3L and this was just perfect to watch before. Thank you 🙏

[@ianaristotlethompson4186]

Thanks for taking the time to film this. Explains a lot.

If I never even get an AJS, I've learned how to step KZbin videos forwards and backwards five seconds. Thank you so much for that tip! How can I have used KZbin for so many years and not know that?

[@glaicogobbo4046]

I liked it too much, Mr. Casey. Of the many videos I watched, you are the only one who uses brass jaws among the jaws of the vise. Depending on the service, aluminum or copper can be used in the most sensitive cases. He showed all the technique of supplying current and voltage. Step by step of the disassembly and assembly of Lucas DC generators, exemplary. I am very grateful!

MUY BUEN TRABAJO ..SALUDOS DESDE ROSARIO ARGENTINA

[@johnod1955]

Good video, thanks very much. I have to tear one apart and check it over.

[@BPantherPink]

SUPERB video Sir...I hope others would follow suit !! No unnessary, jarring, headbanging music. No confusion in pronunciations...just so down to Earth and commonsensical. Great safety advice all the way. Thank You so much...Love from India 🙏🏼

[@TheRideNut]

Thank you B Panther. I appreciate your comments and watching my videos. Please stay safe! Ciao Dick Casey

[@philgreen5ges]

Smashing video Can you tell me where to find the bullet connectors for the dynamo and voltage regulators only someone has fitted the incorrect ones to my EL3. And Mcr2 Thank you Excellent work

[@TheRideNut]

Hi Phil, I'd try Steve at AMC Classic Spares in the UK. He knows the stuff quite well, and he is sensitive to mailing costs. Part number is 900474. Alternatively Jampot spares scheme, the Mother Ship for the Ajay/M club in the UK has them under this part number in a bag of 6. If you are not a member you can still buy and pay vis PayPal. URL is www.amoc-parts.com. Thank you for your warm comments. DC the RideNut

[@philwhitelaw3111]

Thanks for the video. One question. Does it matter which lead from the field coil is connected to earth and the F terminal? Does flashing the dynamo solve things if I have mixed them up? Thanks.

[@TheRideNut]

Yes it does matter. Depending on which lead from the field coil connected to the F terminal will determine the rotation of the dynamo when you "motor' it. If the rotation is incorrect, reverse the two field coil leads. Go back and study your workshop manual just a bit more. Good question Phil. Ciao DC
