That will be fine, just make sure the field of the dynamo has been sparked to earth for negative earth or positive earth.

Thanks for that - the dynamo has been polarised Neg earth so hopefully all will be well - I am bench testing tomorrow- all the best - s

End of an era - I am glad I drive wranglers ( having said that the JL is too far towards grand voyager for my liking ) .

Hey there -thanks for your reply - I have bought a heavy Lucas style 130883 regulator- I will bench test it on Tuesday and hopefully it will not fry - if it does I will head for an old defender unit - cheers

Hey there - Does anyone recognise this CAV dynamo - 11.5 inches long 5.5 inches diameter - 12v clockwise 1960’s no ID plate ... I have to find a voltage regulator for it and it is difficult without details - even an idea of what vehicle it may have come off would be a good start - any help much appreciated - many thanks in advance - simon
