Anyone have any experience with a magneto repairer named James Peel in the Melbourne, Victoria (AUS) area? Trying to have my mag rebuilt and unsure of where I should have the work done. Any advice or comments appreciated.
G'day Carter.
I've never heard of James Peel but a quick google shows he has rewind business.
City auto Electrical Service in Coburg Nth mainly deal with motor cycles and are conversant with magdynos and while I haven't had any mag work done by them (they built me a 6V electronic regulator when they weren't as readily available as they are now) they had some rebuilt magdynos on the shelf all be it quite some years ago.
Peter Scott Motorcycles in NSW did advertise in WA Vintage M/C Club for quite awhile for magneto repairs but not in recent times so may not still be going. If interested his details are 02 9624 1262 email qualmag@optusnet.com.au. Never used him but states he has 45 years experience Australia wide service.
Peter Scott has offically retired and closed down his company "Peter Scott Motorcycles"& "Quality magneto Services".
He is still doing maggys but more of a hobby that a business so it is a case of "when you get round to it Pete not I need it by next week "
Chris Zoch has moved up the coast & will be opening there in the near future 0424 011 767
Considering that there are about 3 times the number of magneto powered motorcycles down there in Mexico one would imagine there would be several magneto repairers in Victoria.
Oddly enough non of them advertise in the 3 Victorian magazines that I get .
Perhaps a line to the Victorian BSA Owners Association will produce better results than here.
