Generator/Alternator Centre Cap *NOW SORTED*

Post by Mike TW9 »

Hi,

Not entirely sure I've got my terminology right here, but when I parked up today I noticed the alternator cover on the LHS was missing. (I mean the bit that screws out on the lower LHS of the engine to provide access.)

Anyone got a spare? Much obliged if you have!

Cheers!

Mike

You'll need an O ring too if you've lost it.

Messaged him a couple of weeks ago and he didn't have any, but was hoping to do some soon, busy time at work I think.. hopefully he'll have some soon as I need one.

Not touched since last autumn when manual CCTs fitted but think it must have come off recently.
