This topic may have been aired previously,(and I apologise for re-raising it,if that is the case!),but, can anyone supply any info or advice about a replacement item, and supplier, for the old selenium rectifier as originally fitted to my current restoration project.(1960 25 DB sportstwin),?
The last time I had to replace such a device, was on a Royal Enfield Constellation, and that entailed substituting a Zener diode, for the old voltage regulator.(30 years ago!).
Any advice, and guidance, will be greatly appreciated, and I'm sure others in GRA will be able to help.
On the subject of ignition coils, I obtained 2 German sourced,(I believe), units from, Villiers Services,about 4 years ago,(i've been "Gathering my Resources", for a while!!),and notice they only have 1 low tension wire, whereas the old Villiers coils had 2.Any advice on how these should be wired, will also be greatly appreciated.(I'm presuming that frame earth connection, replaces the need for the 2nd wire,or am I wrong?).
Ever hopefull, over here, in New Zealand,!!
