Re: alternator question

Now then Tom, It looks like it has an internal regulator, which means that you’ll only have to connect your two thick browns to the B+ and your brown-yellow to the D+. If you cable tie the brown-green and brown-purple, and wrap the ends of both in heat shrink, you will not need the regulator set up ...

Re: WOSP Alternator from Martin Robey

Update ! I sourced a counter-clockwise fan from WOSP, through CCW-tools.com (about £20 delivered) and have just fitted it and I’m getting 14.4v at the battery terminals as well as this happy picture when at idle: https://i.postimg.cc/cCYwZ3Z4/A57-A0858-716-A-4-C67-A9-F6-5978-C3-CF0531.jpg So job loo...

Re: WOSP Alternator from Martin Robey

Thanks All, And sorry for the "stoned Jesus with the munchies" picture. I can only think that it was an accidental addition, after having come back from the Thursday night session in The Swan... The alternator does indeed sit in front of the belt, and I am keen to keep it there so that I can reinsta...

Re: WOSP Alternator from Martin Robey

I am not familiar with this particular alternator, but is it possible to flip the fan? Hi Denny, I’m not sure that’s possible. Photos attached. https://i.postimg.cc/NjdWgTgr/19745-E68-945-C-471-C-ACF4-94-E228-D36-FD3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/BnSr9NG0/2-E6-BADFB-9-F37-48-F4-9561-B883-C9-D0650-C.jpg ...

Re: WOSP Alternator from Martin Robey

Ola Steve, This WOSP sits just on the exhaust side. I cannot flip this fan. I think the 3 options are to a) see if WOSP can sell me a LH fan, or b) replace the WOSP fan with the one I could take off the Lucas I have replaced or c) ignore the contra-rotation and hope that the current fan can pull ene...

WOSP Alternator from Martin Robey

After finally getting my S2 fhc back on the road, I had a problem with a lack of charging. I purchased a WOSP LMA012-80a from Martin Robey, who I’ve had practically everything from during the restoration. There’s a brilliant bloke there called Ian Hoare, who has listened helpfully to my stupidity ov...

Re: Air conditioning service?

Evening Zei, Did you manage to get the a/c fettled ? I’m about to have my factory fitted a/c on my 1969 s2 fhc sorted out, and would be interested to read what you did, and whether you needed to replace the Tecumseh compressor. I have retained mine as LHD specifically to keep the a/c for long runs o...

S2 fhc headrest

Dear boffins, Just retrimming my seats and have run into a problem. Does anyone know what this little tube is made off, or whether a replacement part is available. I have looked in my Moss catalogue with no joy. Whilst it looks like a piece of manky old penne pasta, I think it was possibly a rubber/...

Thanks for this Darren,

And to the other posters. Would you be able to say where you got the new bulbs from ? And are you able to post a picture of the completed job, lit up ?

Kind regards,

Re: S2 fhc - aircon renovation

Many thanks for this John. You’re a mine of information. Rear diff is going back in this week, then various bits of bodywork and welding, plus a respray, so it will be a little while before I come back to you with the outcome of your suggestions. I really appreciate the time you took in responding, ...

S2 fhc - aircon renovation

Dear All, I have decided to leave my 1969 s2 fhc as a lhd, and I would like to keep the factory aircon completely as it is. Does anybody know if it is possible to simply renovate what is there, or can recommend a specialist to do the same ? I’m in Yorkshire, but willing to travel. Many thanks, Damien

Re: Fuel Injection Jenvey Throttle Bodies

Fantastic videos, and looks like things are well and truly fettled. I am seriously considering the EFI route now, as my US import is on dual Strombergs. I might just wait until it is back on the road, see how it is running, and whether I get on with them, and then do the change. Would you be able to...

Yup. Completely agree.

I've been down to them for bits for my mark 2 and they could not have been more helpful or knowledgeable.

Re: Now then.

Ey up Mike. It is coming in from one of those desert states, where they have no rain and humidity in the low teens. It's New Hampshire, so the floors will definitely need welding: https://s2.postimg.org/m69dufoix/IMG_0016.jpg I am sure there'll be other tin-worm related horrors, once I get it back.
