Lost dynamo screw

Forums

Hi Guys - in making good use of the lock down I turned my tender mercies to the magdyno. In refitting it all I found the screw which holds the commuter end cap onto the dynamo, missing.

Does anyone have any idea of its details; length, type, TPI?

The dynamo is type E3LM-LO on a '55 ES2. The end cap part no. is 200826.

Bloody annoying - it's those Garage Gremlins again!

Sodds Law! It's turned up.

It had fallen into the rubber gaiter round the F and D terminals on the dynamo. I apologise to the Garage Gremlins. Mind you, the dynamo is still not charging but that's another thread!

Happy Easter everyone. Make the best of yi that you can.

..It was the 'garage gremlins' who placed it in the rubber gaitor, just like they placed one of my floatbowl cover screws in the borriani wheelrim flange on my 650. Took me until the next day to find that one.

Many years ago I was in France with the Commando and it developed a misfire (later traced to a bad connection on the Boyer back plate). However, I was convinced it was carburation as always. I removed the drain plug from the (single) Concentric and placed it carefully on top of the nearside pannier while I took things apart looking for the problem. Having found nothing I put everything back together. But could I remember what I'd done with the drain plug? I was reduced to thoughts of whittling a bit of wood when I was packing my tools away and there was the plug exactly where I'd left it....

A change from putting a vital part carefully on a bit of clean rag then snatching that up to wipe something and said part shoots off into the undergrowth.

Haha! Love them all. So glad I'm not the only one.

Thanks for the info Colin.

Have as good an Easter as you can, guys.
