Subject: Generator field coil repair
Well , over the weekend I decided to have a go at
repairing the field coil to the Generator on my Le Baron. For a few years I had
been trying to get a replacement to go with the new Armature that I have.
So a trip down to an Auto electrical shop was in order. With taking
the Imperial, I found that I would get a bit more response & sense from
people in the trade. ( they do like to see cars like this ! ) After a good
discussion with the guy whom rebuilds Alternators etc , he advised me what basic
materials I needed to do the job myself. This was a roll of Egyptian cotton
about 3/4 inch wide to re- wrap the wire . Then a tin of Knotting sealer , which
is in effect Shellac ! Knotting sealer is the stuff used as a pre-paint
treatment on Timber that is weeping sap. I must admit that my chin hit the floor
when I found out that the repair would work out as cheap as it did, plus that
regarding the Wood knot sealer. The roll of Cotton & the Shellac will re-do
all the electrical motors in the car at a cost if I convert it to U.S
dollars, 15 bucks ! plus my spare time which I don't count.
Regards
Dave.
