ALTERNATORS
Rotors and Stators
These are designed to replace the Lucas 6V & 12V alternators. They are exactly the same size and top quality for high performance & reliability
|
1. 2 wire single phase 12V 120W (RM21pattern) This can be used as a direct replacement for the std. Lucas stator & used with the Zener diode or the A Reg One regulator/rectifier Stator only £62.95 Pt.no. ALT10109P 2. 2 wire single phase 12V 200W (RM27pattern) A higher output version which must be used with the A REG ONE regulator/rectifier below Stator only £62.95 Pt.no. ALT10190P The O.D. of the stator is 5.0" (127MM) and the depth 1.4" (35.5MM) The 3 mounting holes are on 3 3/4" apart. |

|
The rotors have welded centres and standard 0.75" diameter keyed mounting. The outside diameter is 74MM & the width 35.5MM. Rotor only £62.95 Pt.no. ALT10105P Either rotor with the stator is £125.00 Pt.nos. ALT120W & ALT200W Postage on rotors and stators seperately £7.95 each, £9.95 together. |
|
The 120W stator will run a points ign. with 2 coils and a 60/55W QH headlamp bulb, but with electronic ign. , Boyer, Rita etc there maybe too much load. Use a 45/40W QH bulb or fit the 200W rotor & regulator/rectifier. I don't sell 3 phase stators. They are too expensive and only give a little more charge at low revs. Very important if you're a despatch rider in London but otherwise not worth the extra expense. |

SOLID STATE REGULATOR/RECTIFIER
FOR ALTERNATORS
All these regulators can be mounted under the seat or in the toolbox, they do not need to be 'in the wind' like the Zener diode
If it hasn't got an A Reg label on the back it isn't an A Reg
| A
REG SIX £34.95
This 6V regulator will suit any Lucas / Miller type 6V alternator and will give proper Voltage control to prevent boiled batteries/blown bulbs and allow the safe use of AGM batteries such as the Cyclons. Because of the way the alternator is wired more power is available if the battery is low. They come with full instructions. Pt.no. AREG6 67 x 59 x 24MM mounting holes 6MM dia. 55MM apart |
||
| A
REG ONE £34.95
These 12V regulators suit any Lucas / Miller/ Alton type alternator and replace the Zener diode and the rectifier. They can also be used when converting from 6V to 12V and come with full instructions. They are rated at 25A which is 300A and have been tested to max. output with our 200W alternator They can be used without a battery if a Capacitor is fitted, see below They are suitable for std. 120W & high output 200W alternators. Pt.no. AREG1 67 x 59 x 24MM mounting holes 6MM dia. 55MM apart |
||
|
A REG THREE Pt.no. AREG3 £39.95 For 3 phase alternators up to 200W 70 x 65 x 27MM |
||
|
REG10121 at £59.95. A high output 200W Podtronics regulator The same as the A REG but more expensive. 65 x 75 x 30MM 6MM dia. mounting holes 65MM apart |
ZENER DIODE VOLTAGE REGULATOR
|
The Zener diode was used on Alternator equipped British bikes from the mid 1960s to give a cheap and effective 12V Voltage control. Zener diode positive earth as standard £24.95 Pt.no. ZEN10054 Now also available in negative earth £24.95 Pt.no. ZEN10166 Triumph type Heatsink ZEN 26114 £15.00 |
|
A capacitor is available for use where no battery is used £9.95 For points only, a battery is needed with electronic ignition.
Pt.no. CAPAO100 |
BRIDGE RECTIFIER
![]() |
The bridge rectifier shown here replaces the lucas finned rectifiers fitted to British bikes from the 1950s to the late 1970 and will suit all models 6/12V fitted with an alternator except the later electric start Triumphs and Nortons. The older Lucas rectifiers needed fins to disipate the heat generated, these are more efficient in rectifing all the current so need no finning and supply more current to the battery. Easy to connect, and supplied with wiring instructions. Rated up to 25A £4.95 Pt.no.REC001 Dimensions are 30MM x 30MM x 23MM |
LUCAS TYPE BRIDGE RECTIFIER
|
This is a bridge rectifier as fitted to British bikes mid 1960s onward and will also replace the earlier larger selenium rectifiers. Looks just like the Lucas rectifiers but without the Lucas name. Pt.no REC10135 £44.95 |
CHARGE WARNING LIGHT
|
This simple device connects between the ignition switch & earth. 12V only. When the ignition is turned on the lamp lights. When the engine starts and the battery is being charged the lamp goes out. No charge it stays on. This can be used on an alternator system or a dynamo system used to power coil ignition. Replaces the warning light assimilator on Commandos. Full instructions are supplied. With warning light (Red, Blue, Green or amber) £24.90 Pt.No. LVLDWL + colour Without £19.95 Pt.no. LVLD |
BATTERY STATUS MONITOR
| The Battery Status Monitor (BSM) is a LED voltmeter designed to monitor the Voltage across a 6 or 12V battery. The BSM is protected against reverse connection and unlike an ordinary Ammeter is immune to vibration. The BSM incorporates an ambient light sensor that dims the LED for night time. Intended for mounting in the headlamp shell or in or below the dashboard on cars. |
|
This also serves as an ignition on warning light |
Under 10.75 Volts. If the battery Voltage is very low, the LED will flash red slowly .At 12V the battery is still low and the LED will maintain a constant red. 12.5 - 13.5V battery fully charged (engine not running) the LED will show orange. Over 13.8V battery charging the LED shows green Over 15.25V Overcharging. Fast red flash. 12V Pt.no. BSM12V £25.95 each 6V versions are also available, also £25.95 Pt.no. BSM6V |

SOLID STATE BATTERIES
|
These lead/acid batteries are totally sealed and hold the acid in gel form soaked into matting making them totally leak proof and able to be mounted in any position. Each battery is 6V. Two batteries can be connected to provide 6V or 12V, instructions are supplied. |
| These batteries are designed for long term use and under ideal conditions can last 8/10 years and they can be left for long periods without charging. | |||
| Each battery measures 135 x 75 x 51MM so 2 can be fitted inside the battery case below or mounted in place of a std. battery. They are not suitable for electric starts. | |||
| Cyclon cells are supplied charger, no further charging before use is required or desirable. | |||
| Two batteries connected for 6V or 12V have a capacity of 10AH and are suitable for use with dynamo equipped bikes fitted with a solid state Voltage regulator. Alternator bikes need a Zener diode or solid state Voltage regulator in 6V or 12V | |||

|
They have been designed to be a snug fit inside the new hard rubber battery case giving the maximum storage capacity. Supplied together the cost is £54.00 + £9.50 P&P
|
| What exactly is an AGM battery? An AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) battery is a lead acid battery that is sealed using special internal pressure valves and is completely maintenance-free. The electrolyte is absorbed in separators consisting of a sponge like mass of matted glass fibres which uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen gases normally lost in a liquid lead-acid battery. They are non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position. However, upside-down installation is not recommended. Once fully charged they can be left for long periods without discharging or needing recharging. |
