Ron,
no it's "normal" maybe you've got the C 7374/5/1 or the C 7945/10/1 from May 1940,
but in April 1941 there is a part list for these 2 contract condensed in one book!!!
and they ad the carburetor and the electrical system...
the other pages are in photobucket..
find nothing about magdynos on the WD/G or WD/L part list or hints and tips books....
Roy mentions brass inserts for the peg on a 1936 mag, my 1937 dated mag also has brass inserts, my 39 mag does not.
When did they change to full alu version 38 or 39?
Hello everyone, my name is Aumkar and I'm from India. This thread has been a massive resource and I want to thank everyone for all the information. I'd like to contribute as well.
My bike is a WD Royal Enfield 350 Bullet. Dispatched from the Redditch factory on 18th December 1952 to London based freight forwarders Hales Bros. It is one of a batch of 750 dispatched in Dec‘52/Jan’53 to Hales for onward shipment to Madras Motors that were destined for the Indian Army. The bikes of course were WD spec as can be traced in historical photos, furthermore my Ammeter and Smith's speedo all have the chrome delete like the WD bikes did.
My MagDyno : M01L 46030...6/8/0? the last digit's stamping is pretty much destroyed.
L1 1153? <----
The Plate is Aluminum. I don't have the option to upload an image or else I would have attached it.
There would be a market for the magneto which would fit most Enfields and the specification plate would certainly be desirable to someone building a late 1940 WD/C.
Yes, brass plate.
It is just the mag, no dynamo.
Not sure where I'd track down someone rebuilding a WD/C, it would be better on the motorcycle than on the Lister engine it ended up on.
I'd suggest a post in the "Sales" section here, preferably with a photo or two (it requires a separate photo host though but we can talk you through that or post a photo for you).
With a bit of luck, someone with a contract C6215 WD/C will be looking for this very magneto.
