#5912 Hi Also Merv Stratford of Rudge racing fame is producing camshafts. He has M17/8 on the
shelf. One advantage of Merv's cams are that they are already bushed and he grinds the taper for the
cam wheel half a thou over to accommodate any growth of the cam wheel hole. Merv also is in the

L # 6233 I just found this web site. It is focused on cars but there are lots of interesting and hard
to get 1930-50 stuff here. Gas taps, pipe fittings, wiring, etc, and the prices look pretty good too.

# 6238 We deal with Paul for our 1934 Morris and would recommend his services.
L # 6250 I think I have "cooked" my JG Voltage Regulator and need a replacement (I have seen
somewhere on the web figures for resistance on the connecting leads for these units but cannot find
them at present). I live in Cardiff, Wales, and the only address I have for a supplier is Dave Lindsley in
Lancs (from the VOC Q and A Section). I want to get a new one and fit it in time to get to Beaulieu on
Friday afternoon, any suggestions for closer suppliers to me?
# 6251 I replaced mine, a few years ago, with one supplied by Classic Motorcycle Electrical Services
(CMES) of Yate near Bristol, the only faults discovered were of my own making and the unit has
performed without fault. It's not a JG Unit, but his own make. Speak to Sean, I have found his service
very good in the past. I think the Tel. No. is 01454 323434 Unit 6, Dean Court, Great Western Business
Park, Yate, Bristol. BS37 5NJ
# 6252 Sean manufactures his own voltage regulators so not sure if he sells the JG item you want, he
still has the same Phone number and address but operates under the name of Hawker electrical, top
man very good friendly service.
# 6257 I gave Sean a ring early this am, he starts at 5:30am, and was on his doorstep by 11:30, he
overhauled the dynamo while I waited, changed the connections back from JG to standard to match up
with one of his regulators and tested the lot to ensure all ok. I took away my bits, new and old, and by
3:45pm was looking at a VMT with as good a charge as it ever had at 6 volts but at 12 volts as per the
JG unit.
