a bit off topic on this forum
but I know you guys are great..
I have as poorly magneto here that needs some tlc..
any recommendations for a rebuild guy...
down south would be a bonus but shipping is pretty good these days so not so important...
Cheers once again in advance

Is a magneto the same as a starter motor Jason? Probably not but if it is we have a great guy refurb / overhaul our SOHC starter motors for us.

Only type I've used recently of that ilk is the following link

They don't appear to list magneto but have had quite alot of old and vintage car stuff down there when i've been in, so worth a question to them.

I have 2 being re wound at the mo by a Guy in Hastings that does them in his back garden, he has done them for me for 30 years. His name is Tony Holder, I have his number at work if you want it Jason.
He is looking after his Wife who is ill so can take a a little while.
What Mag is it ? if you are in a hurry I do know another source.

cheers guys
it's a standard K2F for a twin.
I have used Tony Cooper in the past with good results..
he has a 4-6 week lead but that's being pushed to possibly 8..
I was hoping someone may have known anyone local to me or possibly a service exchange service..
I'm going to take it out this week and give it a once over but it's been sat for 40 years so I am sure it will need more than a tinker..

you could ask you guy if you have time.
I believe it's a similar skill set but more than likely a different job..
I may be able to pick up a replacement/spare but that too will more than likely be just as old..

If it needs a rewind that's a specialist tricky job but if it's the condenser ( capacitor) there is someone selling a little PCB retrofit with a surface mount one on. In the standard setup the original capacitor is buried in the armature.

Guy at Newark last month was selling the slip ring assembly for £18, Fibre large gear for £12 and does exchanged nice looking refurbed armatures for £90.
