Morris Minor Owners Club

Insertion time Next, V-coil in place Unfortunately, the adjustable coil collar slipped along the tool shaft and I inserted the v-coui deeper than the 1 turn suggested.
You can't back them out as the coils are only "one-way".
Snap-ff tool in use to snap off the V-coil key Dynamo back in place with a suitable number of spacer washers placed between the side bracket and the dynamo bolt lug. Hope this will be of help to others.

Just need the right profile pulley and you're sorted. Any luck? Ford one MIGHT fit.

That does a great repair! Never understood why the MM used such a wide belt, not as though the dynamo generates 5kw!

In an ideal world all internal threads in alloy should be fitted with Helicoils, makes the thread much more resilient.

I was lucky, my water jacket/ dynamo bracket is cast iron, it was on the car when I bought it in 1970.

So far I got one response from a member in Australia, but he hasn't yet sent me the photos.

The "other" green low-light, that was on eBay, had the cast iron dynamo mount - was yours like this I did buy a spare alloy one, from ESM, to replace the poor-condition one on my high-light, but it turns out that the fabricator has cut 5/16" UNF threads instead of M8x1 fine.

That's a USHM2 engine with the bracket cast into the head. Your engine is from a much later (non-Lowlight) car. The BMC President tractor and the Vedette boat engine had iron side castings on the later block.
