12 volt dynamo for 6 cylinder car

Hi everyone,

The president of our local Traction club here in Perigeux has an immaculate 6 cylinder French built car which he is hoping to convert from 6 to the far more exciting 12 volts and has asked us if we know where he can source a suitable 12 volt dynamo. I had a look under the bonnet and it seems that the arrangement is quite different from the 4 cylinder cars with the cooling fan mounted on the generator. I am not sure whether the 6 cylinder cars sold in the UK were 12 volt Lucas and the same as the Light 15 in which case it may be possible to adapt the drive arrangement. Alternatively, it may be possible to locate a 12 volt direct replacement although there is no mention of such on the spares site. Any guidance please would be appreciated.
