Re: Lights failing afer a few hours

Re: square feeling wheel

My thoughts: Partially seized prop shaft universal joint - the only way to check is to remove it and check it on the bench. Is it more obvious turning or in a straight line? - Possible half shaft universal joint issue, but rare. Axle windup - stuck in four wheel drive? Physical tyre structural probl...

Re: Series 2A Heater Motor

Can anybody explain what differences (if any) there were between the flat heater fitted to cvilin models and ones fitted to Lightweights? Also was there a difference between S2A and S3 units?

Re: Voltage

Then it can really only be the regulator. I can't remember the figures offhand, but the standard regulator is set to charge old style batteries up to about 15V - that's too high for a modern battery. If you have a modern battery, the regulator needs to be adjusted to a max of something like 13.5 Vol...

Re: Voltage

Does it still have voltage regulator or has the dynamo been ditched in favour of an alternator?

Re: Seat belt mounting brackets

Re: Light fittings

I think the one on the left is a side light unit with a recessed housing so the smaller bulb can be set further back. The one on the right I think is your indicator unit.

Re: Bolt sizes

I think the front ones are 3/8" UNF x 4 1/2" and the rears are 3/8" x 3 1/2".
That's according to my 2A parts manual, so could well be wrong!
