[QUOTE="JustPlainBill0, post: 108686, member: 4182"] Following your work closely (and enviously) Vic, If I had your skills I'd be copying your work. Failing that, I'm going a slightly different direction. I've purchased a China made 143 x 60 mm brush type, 87 watt permanent magnet motor ( eBay item number: 401766275363) hopefully to reduce the need for custom machining and not stray too far from original looks. For non-machinists, the 60 mm diameter body permits more flexibility in mounting and positioning the generator than possible with a 68 mm body. That is, one can use a conventional steel, "L" style front motor mount or a spindle motor mount somewhat resembling the Vincent part; both of which allow some up/down, fore/aft adjustments. I have not thought through oil sealing yet; love your O-ring solution. My plan is to arrive at an inexpensive, largely do-it-yourself generator for the unskilled; with the same advantages in finding replacement parts as for the China brushless motors. [/QUOTE]
