Draganfly have these in stock. I think they are for the Ariel Colt but I also believe that they were used on the AMC machines as well. Might be worth looking at the photo...

I think someone was asking about these the other week. I remember them saying they were an outrageous price and I directed them towards draganfly. They're pretty good if you ring them up regarding compatibility. After all more often than not they're going in a Joey unit.

I honestly don't know if they are lightweight ones. Any help would be much appreciated in finding the correct item that I need. Thank you :)

Hi Andrew

You say you have an alternator late 57 engine

If you check the 58 parts list in the archive you will see:

If you need more detail, go to page G3 in the Lucas Complete list:

Ha ha! Love it! I might have to consider this if I can't find the bobweight thingy. What I also need to know is where to plug my OBD2 computer into...
