[QUOTE="brian gains, post: 123839, member: 3153"] No ancillary outlets just lights, stop light and idiot lights. Indicators had been fitted but I removed them. It has Lucas RITA EI and never had the tell tale firing at fully retarded which they normally do when the battery voltage charge starts to drop. I bought the machine through a middle man so history is only what I have gleaned from supplied paperwork, John Renwick whom I had the opportunity to speak with briefly and others that have recognised the machine and 'know' a little of it's history. John Roberts (?) ran the motor in a grass track machine in the Horsham area, this would at least explain the Norton gearbox. Hopefully people are not being misguided by mention of the 'Kubota' alternator. I can't find any reference to this in the paperwork so believe I have repeated what an observer told me. All I can say is it appears to have two wires coming from it and the laast time the battery discharged and was recharged , placing a meter across the battery terminals indicated it was receiving a charge. The battery has been recharged and is connected and all I can say is that in the last 3 hours it has not depleted. See attached blurry photos that will only give a rough idea of fitting and physical size of the alternator. Not very helpful I know, but if anyone can make any knowledgeable observation of what alternator it may be if this appears to be a standard up grade I would be grateful. Thanks for comments up to this point.[ATTACH]35914[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35915[/ATTACH][ATTACH]35916[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
