Can anyone tell me the following for a WD Royal Enfield?...
Direction of mag rotation (viewed from the drive end.)
Left or right hand pickup location (viewed from the drive end.)
Details of Magneto mounting arrangements....Ian
Hi Jan, Yes that helps..one last point though...does the Enfield mag body have the (4)location dowels in the base as on a BSA?..and if not what does it have?...thanks...Ian
I don't think it shows in Jan's first picture. But pictures I have studied seem to show the mag cable at the front by cylinder. ie slack wire advance, which is quite unusual. Ron
I need to clarify that one way or t'other..though saying that it is getting increasingly difficult to find 'slack wire' points housings. Nortons have them because the mag runs the other way but many have gone onto Goldies, B33s etc. etc. which all had that end after 1954 ish...and you can't fit what you haven't got ....Ian

Hi Ron & Ian,
I have also checked my war time pictures and I've only found "my" setup. Plus: the original mag on my 1940 WD/C is also as in my illustration...
Jan, unless I'm missing something? I can't see the mag cable in your picture. I have sent Ian some factory shots that all show the slack wire position. Ron
