My Low-light is giving me problems at every turn.
The dynamo that it came with was a later C40 version with the wrong size pulley.
It was also not mounted in a way that lined up with teh adjuster bracket, so I had to take it off whilst I decided what to do.
I decided, in the end to refit the one it came with, pending getting something better - but more problems, the front mount thread was knackered.
I forgot to take a picture of the drilling operation - sorry.
I had to pull the waterpump pulley and fan blades off to give me extra clearance for the Tap handle, this still wasn't enough
as the smallest tap Handle I had, that could take this size of tap, was still too long and was snagging on the water pump (could only do about a quarter turn at a time and then refit the handle each time (very time consuming).
