The distance between the 2 lugs on the block side plate are different to the earlier block side plate; and the distance between the lugs on the generators themselves are different. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature">I don't know if you can shim them up with washers to adapt one to the other - and more importantly, if you do, I don't know if the pulley lines up with the water pump & crank pulleys. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature">So - I know they are different. But I've never tried to adapt one to fit the other. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Maybe someone else has?</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">I'll send you some pics tomorrow. </div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Best</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Chris</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 19 Apr. 2017, at 5:54 pm, Simon Lachlan <<a href="mailto:simon.lachlan@homecall.co.uk">simon.lachlan@homecall.co.uk</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--

I still have the generator, C45 I think, and it’s got new brushes, bearings etc. Works well.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">My nephew’s car in Paris, being a BJ8, has a C42. Slightly higher output. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Now, my question is this, my never having seen both together:-<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Can I swap my BT7 genny into his BJ8?? Are they the same size so will fit onto the mountings? <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Are the electrical connections the same?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Any other thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We haven’t determined that his genny is at fault yet, but it’s looking likely. Conceivably, I’ll fly over and give him a hand. Carrying a genny, meter etcetc by air won’t be too easy these days. (Security issues). But carrying the wrong one would be heartbreaking. If you see what I mean!<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The plan is for the BJ8 to come over to the UK in early July. We can get his dead genny swapped or refurbished by then.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">OR, if you all tell me that the units are not physically interchangeable, I could take over the correct one (exchange unit) from one of the suppliers and bring back his dead one.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Simon<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Support <a href="http://Team.Net">Team.Net</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a></span><br><span>Suggested annual donation $12.75</span><br><span>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a></span><br><span>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums">http://www.team.net/forums</a></span><br><span></span><br><span><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a></span><br><span><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/austin.healey@gmail.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/austin.healey@gmail.com</a></span><br><span></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
