[Mgs] 62 MGA 1622 Mk2

[Barney Gaylord]

Generator was originally painted dark red along with the complete 
engine assembly in original production for MGA and early 
MGB.  Replacement generators are black, so lots of current field 
retrofits are black instead of red.  Later production MGB with black 
engine (18V engines) would have an alternator (starting 1968).

Coil bracket is on top of the generator for MGA 1500 model cars.
Coil bracket is on the engine mount for MGA 1600 and 1600-MK-II.
Coil mounts on the exhaust side inner fender (I think) for Twin Cams.
Coil bracket is back on top of the generator for "Deluxe" model cars, 
because the right side engine mount is different (same as the Twin 
Cam RH mount).
I'm guessing coil may be mounted on inner fender for MGB.
