So, I've been given this 1952 500 twin as a ground up rebuild and all the parts seem to be there other than a dynamo and distributor which would appear to be as rare as hens teeth. I have however got a knackered but fairly complete magdyno from a later model. Can I replace one with the other? ( don't worry about the wiring loom- there isn't one.....). Or is there a better way to go about this? Any and all suggestions more than welcome.

Hi, you'll need different timing sprockets, also make sure your magneto has the correct rotation. Check the parts list on this site for any differences, 1952 and the mag appears 1955. Vince
