Lynn,

Andrew Rowe at Palmerston North has a couple at least. Whether he can be persuaded to part with them is another matter! As Neil pointed out, they are fairly common over here, though the 12 volt, wartime models are harder to find.

Default Unlikely!

Adrian

one is on the Valentine trackguard, so the other will be in a carrier before long I guess!

What voltage are the post war ones?

Rob

I have one of those generators fitted to my 1944 Bedford MWR radio truck, it is carried in the steel box mounted next to the drivers step.
I am in the process of trying to get the thing running, I think the mag might be a bit suspect,

I too have one of these generators (there seems to be a fair few still around),and I was wondering if anyone knew of a source of NOS sparkplugs (or a modern equivalent)? I think it's an AC type 103M!
Cheers
Dougie.

I bought a box of new ones once, but have now sold the lot......not much help, I know, but you may come across them if you look hard.
