<html><div>Why not just rebuild your nephew's generator?<br><br><br></div>
<div>Hi Simon,</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">The BJ8 bracket/ C42 generator mounting points are different to the earlier bigger ones. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">I.e. 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 class="MsoNormal">Hi,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">I have a MkII BT7 fitted with an alternator. I still have the generator, C45 I think, and it’s got new brushes, bearings etc. Works well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">My nephew’s car in Paris, being a BJ8, has a C42. Slightly higher output.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Now, my question is this, my never having seen both together:-</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Can I swap my BT7 genny into his BJ8?? Are they the same size so will fit onto the mountings?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Are the electrical connections the same?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Any other thoughts?</div>
<div 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!</div>
<div 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.</div>
<div 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.</div>
