Thanks Graham

If only you had posted your message earlier, I have sorted myself out with a new unit which is now fitted.

I am just up the road in Silloth, can you do spares as my old unit works fine it just has a damage plastic end cover.

Gordon

After searching through a manual provided by Jonathan I found the following on connecting the loom terminals to the alternator:

Two Thick Brown Wires With Large Spade terminals and one Brown/Black cable with small spade terminal

Does not matter which way round the large spades are connected to the alternator.

The Brown/Black is connected +B Terminal on the alternator.

All as shown in picture #10

Both, #5 and # 10 (Stephen) 

Thanks to all.

Now sorted

Thanks

Thanks Ian

I assume this was a direct replacement, how long ago was it fitted.

Gordon

Thanks Stephen

Like you said,bit far. I will give them a call so see if they can supply end cover.^

Before buying a new Lucas Unit from Burton Power does anyone have a spare alternator following an upgrade they with to move on, or a plastic end cap from a defunt unit.

Thanks

Thanks 

Johathan do you know the colour codes of the 3 wires?

Stephen looking Left to Right on your what colors are we looking at, am I correct in assuming the left cable is a lower amp rating then the other two?

Thanks I will try and get in close to check out wires and colors.

Are most of the 94 era alternators Lucas.

A long story but I have damaged my alternator end cap and cannot sort out the connections?

Are these simple spade push connectors or are they contained in a single plug in connector.

I probably need to replace the end cap in full, are these available as a separate part or do I need to replace the complete unit.

Awkward spot but can anyone supply a picture of the connections.

Thanks

Hello Graham

Not fitted yet, but I am sure all will be well. (Topped up with small amount of fluid and plugged outlets to keep seals moist.

One more for the pot

Robert

Thanks for your kind offer.PM sent

Ian a refurbishment could be option for consideration at a later stage, the good thing is that a retro refit for originality would be a simple task.

I will checkout Car Builder.

Thanks for the information Andrew.

Existing pipework is in excellent condition so no issues on that front and like your's my brake light switch is hydraulic on a short run.

Job looks straight forward just a matter of getting hold of a flaring kit, "T" piece and fittings etc.

My M/C is as you show in the link.

Thanks Andrew

Could I not insert the "T" adjacent to the throttle pedal and just cut into the front lines and run a new pipe to M/C. assuming I can utilize the existing rear connector?

What fittings do I need to connect to new M/C- Tee Piece and brakes. What size brake pipe. Are these metric or UNF?

My 94 X/Flow is fitted with the old Vauxhall Viva master cylinder which has the following connectors. one for the rear brakes and two for the front brakes

I intend to replace the obsolete unit with a current standard M/C.

What connectors do I need to purchase to carry out the mod (metric or imperial?)and what is the best way of doing it. 

Is it a simple cut and insertion of three way tee piece.

Before dashing out to buy one (postage as much as the goods) does anyone have a steering wheel horn push pencil contact (Motolita. Momo or Mountey Steering Wheel) that they no longer need due to wheel upgrade etc.

Thanks Gordon

Thanks Guys

I need to replace the rubber piping on my S/S wing protectors- what size rivets do I need.

Thanks

Thanks I will hang out for a i8

Is this the 2016 or 2020 model?

Looking for my 1st i Phone (old school). If anyone is upgrading through a provider let me know. Unlocked or O2.

I have one from my first Caterham (86 supersprint) being hanging on the garage wall for more than 30 years.
