Re: Minor dynamo issue

Bob the instructions by Lucas say "Hold the nuts while undoing the through bolts" So no tool mentioned. As long as you stop the nuts turning somehow is up to you. I've used a small screwdriver blade in the hole against the side of the nut. Ron

Thanks for the reply. On these occasions someone running an old British bike can always organise something. I noticed some knurling on both the nut & I'm fairly sure on the driven end plate,these on the end plate would presumably engage the head of the long through bolt?

Re: Minor dynamo issue

There should be a cup shaped star washer under the nuts to fit the shape of the hole. I find that using a flat one is OK as it will change shape and grip once the through bolts are tightened.

Thanks for this. The word "knurling" I used in the previous post was the best I could come up with, but it really looks more like the indentations you might expect these star washers to make.
