Subject: M45 dynamo mystery drive My first thought was that this was to drive a tachometer but that is driven off the end of the camshaft.Of course it is possible my dynamo came from another make or model.Any ideas? Please advise. Thanks Barry |

Subject: Re: M45 dynamo mystery drive A wild guess, but it looks like it could be an advance/retard system that is attached to the dynamo and should have points and a distributor mounted to it. I believe there is also a magneto on the other side of the engine (I'm not familiar with M45 details...) so the car could run without this working. There is a photo in this ad that seems to show this device. http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/1208-Lagonda-M45%20Tourer-4.5%20Litre%20Inline%20Six-Cylinder Alec |

Subject: Re: M45 dynamo mystery drive Thanks for the reply Alec and link to the interesting M445. I am afraid the drive is still a mystery as the distributor has a right angle gear provision already in place. And of course on the other side of the engine resides the BTH magneto. |
