To convert from three brush to two brush is quite simple (and much easier with the dynamo out of the car). 1. Remove the third brush completely. 2. Transfer the field wire that was connected to the third brush screw terminal and connect it to the grounded main brush (this is the one without a wire connected to the screw terminal). You will now need some sort of voltage regulator.

I was searching for MG related weathervane. Searching online I could only find one. It was a cast copper MG at over $20,000usd. I have now contacted I small company in Indiana that makes weathervanes. A drawing of our cars was submitted to them as an example. They have come back with a sample drawing of the weathervane. The arrow will be 34" with a varity of mounting options. It will be made out of steel and unpainted. You can paint it to match your car or take it to your local powder coat dealer. I'm looking for ten other MG owners to go in on the project. With ten orders the cost is $210.00 each. That includes the shipping to your home in the continental USA. I am not profiting from these sales - I am just trying to get the cost down. You will pay the company direct. A photo is available along with additional information regarding the company via email.
