Hi,

Interested to see the pictures. I also thought that my mounting bracket was a bodge especially when I had a spare dynamo lug left sticking out. I see that you both have the same thing.

After mounting my dynamo, I realised that it was not in line with the fan/water pump pulley. After a lot of head scratching and adjusting of spacers, it was still at an angle to the pulley. I can only think that it had always been like that. I ended up having to elongate one of the holes in the bracket to allow the dynamo to sit properly and square in the bracket. The bracket does not appear to have twisted, just welded together or drilled in the wrong position. All seems well now. There is a heat shield available which can be squeezed in between the dynamo and the exhaust. I would recommend fitting one.
