Title: alternator/solenoid question Post by: Jonno on December 04, 2005, 07:30:55 AM Hi,
Can anyone (ACE?) give me a pic of the modified bracket required to fit an alternator to a grey motor...there seems to be a protrusion from the block which sits in the way so I assume the bracket has to sit above this? Also, among this mass of (presumably non-standard) wiring, does anyone recognise what the two boxes in addition to the regulator do? I am intending to pull all this out but am particularly worried by the little box since its connected to the starter solenoid...but doesn't appear in the wiring diagram: (http://tinypic.com/i4fe42.jpg) (http://tinypic.com/i4fe9x.jpg) thanks, Jonno Title: Re: alternator/solenoid question Post by: ACE on December 04, 2005, 08:21:50 AM Hi Jonno,
I've emailed you a pic of the alternator bracket, which is a modified red motor bracket. The 2 extra boxes look like relays of some kind, maybe for driving light, air horns etc. Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: alternator/solenoid question Post by: oldgmh on December 04, 2005, 08:27:42 AM my guess is that they are relays of some kind.
Driving lights? Air horns? Most likely the car probably had voltage drop when starting at some stage in its life, so a relay would have been fitted to give the starter full power. But that only accounts for one relay which would be the bigger one. I am not sure about the little box. Its a start anyway, ;D ;D earlee.
