[QUOTE="Comet Rider, post: 6176, member: 36"] [b]Charging systems and brakes[/b] Hi, If you are a full member, you can scan back through previous posts to look for other peoples solutions, but here are a few, Charging, 1/ Keep the dynamo and fit a modern solid state regulator (limits the amount of power available) 2/ Alton (keeps original style look, current version gives about 120W) 3/ Car style alternator conversion (few varieties about giving upto 360W, but has advantage of easy spares availability) Brakes, Read Know Thy Beast and others, slight oversize hole for spindle, then pull on brakes before tightening spindle will ensure that the brakes are centralised properly. Best of luck Neil [/QUOTE]
