Source for Lucas C39 PV2 dynamo cast pulley/fan

[59 Aceca]

Happy Holidays all,

I'm hoping someone knows of a source (or has an extra they would be willing to part with) for a cast pulley/fan for a Lucas C39 PV2 dynamo.  Mine suffered the ultimate indignity on the return trip from getting its bushing and bearing replaced, compliments of UPS here in the USA.  Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Greg

These were still available from the ACOC spares list when I bought one three years ago.

Unfortunately I loaned my catalogue to my Son over Christmas, so cannot give more details.  If my memory serves me correctly pages 173/175 refer. ..  ..  Just checked on line They have a pdf Catalogue  ....  Link below

' www.wosperformance.com ' Supply new dynamo pullies for there alternator/dynamo units in various sizes , the only issue is that AC pullies have  fan blades to cool the dynamo which may not be incorporated!
The AC dynamo uses 'A' section belts but they do supply 'Z' section which i use, you need to make sure you get the correct offset!

I have checked with my supplier of Dynamo's who do have pullies available but the actual pully you have is an AC Company design D60202 so not now made, i believe the Club did have some some time ago, but to reproduce the pulley would require new tooling.
The best solution is to use a separate steel fan with a stock pulley which can be supplied to fit the AC dynamo WOS Performance can do this for you, if you email me i can forward the details to you, i have supplied a drawing of the original AC pulley so they know what is required.

Update Have checked the AC Owners Club Spares list & they show two pulleys available to AC design @ £65 each, so you should contact the s[pares people for one!

Robin,

Thank you for doing the additional checking!  Is there an alternate contact for AC Club Spares?  I've sent a couple of emails to Brian Eacott and never heard back.  Are you able to post the drawing of the original design here so I can compare to the dimensions of mine?  I'm assuming my pulley is original but you never know with a 60+ year old car what may have been replaced at some point!

Best regards,
Greg

Brian Eacott is not the AC spares person he trades as a separate supplier a bit like me but set up the spare parts operation when AC Ltd closed the function from the works, Brian worked for AC Ltd & left to set up his spares business probably in the 1980's .I make new Weller Engines.
Steve Hall is the AC Owners Club Spares guy, so you need to contact him direct. you should be able to find his contact details in the AC Action magazine each month.
