I know of a place in Lincoln. Had a couple of jobs done any they're fair prices

Yeah thats a type 1/2 alternator. If youre planning go that route, it can be done much cheaper, thats generic universal alternator. Ive used it on a few things. Ill get the details off the box tomorrow. But a quick googles brought uo this https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/compact-lightweight-40-amp-alte...

Luckily no sourcing was required, I had a spare burried in my dads garage, it was just a case of digging it out. Anyway I got it out stripped it down and had it blasted. It showed a few thin areas which I go round to repairing last night. Ive us put a stright edge on it the seam and its strighter th...

All to complicated for me! Happy to see other people show us how its done

How are you getting on? Have you had chance to get stuck any further in and see what youve really got? Are you planning to get the body off?

Almost certainly skimmed over because of a water leak inside the car. The deflector panel under neather it will be rotten.

No MOT history showing, so its been off the road for a long time. But its still on SORN, so it looks like it may still exisit.

Oh, that's not how I thought it was going to be fitted.
On TheSamba.com there's a thread about alternator conversions and someone posted this.

How were you expecting to see it? More food for thought

Better photos on order, I saw how he did it. The reward section is the same diameter as a dynamo. So it fits nicely and keep the armature and pulley on the same axis. Thus a type 3 belt will still fit. He then clearanced the housing and modified a beetle dyanmo clamp. https://s2mcjw.dm.files.1drv.co...

You can do it with a beetle one. I'll show you some photos later.

Theres nothing wrong with a dynamo. But if you start running higher power audio equipment and other electrical stuff, the drain on the battery is greater than the dynamo can replace

Yeah I've had it applied for many years

Price will make you take a deep breath. But here it is

VWheritage sell them. I bought one earlier this year.

Bumping up, willing to consider sensible offers

Ill check the 3 other brands of manual ive got for the car and see what they all come up with. Its definitely the total in this one. They do break it down in other parts. So I will start with working to 5 minutes total. I feels weve walked this path before. Ive got the old version on the old Dunlop ...

So we may have a typo on the Bentley manual. I did question 5 degrees toe in when we were setting I up. In the rear axel chp. Youre looking at Type 3 sedan double jointed axel. That says +5 degrees, no ifs buts or coconuts. Agree? https://qtqmrg.dm.files.1drv.com/y4mMCnmj_rOx8I5smpoSheEn2-p-zV9-87L8...

Lets see if we can produce something cohearent then. Ive been using the car rather than working on it. But I have taken it for a 4 wheel alignment. Its safe to say I wasnt ever going to get anywhere on my own. https://cinqpq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4mLW0uRfDOT29zstE7hWtAHqcQIbmH4_vX63AEue5jnul6wWjtKULl-T...
