[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 123831, member: 456"] Hi Bill, the big 'o' ring is to seal the drive from the primary chain to the dynamo replacement. There are differences from bike to bike and the back of the hole which takes the original dynamo drive can vary from a machined cone, to a cast cone to a flat. That might not have included all variations. The idea, and what you should have, is not an 'o' ring but rather a piece of soft rubber 'o' ring material that can be cut to length and then glued to be the right size to fit whatever type of recess you have. I have also supplied silicon tubing for the same purpose to those who are using ATF in their primary drives. The ends of that have to be glued using clear silicon mastic. The regulator does have to be earthed and one of the three wires on that has to go to earth, otherwise it charges flat out. There is no need for any other earth. There is a wiring diagram in the instructions. It sounds to me as though I ought to send you another copy of the fitting instructions. These will arrive as an attachment to an email. Are you still at vincent.bournemouth? The separate regulator for those alternators has to be bolted where you like. Mine is under the battery carrier. [/QUOTE]
