Cheers Rick just the front and rear windscreen surrounds to do and the two rear bumpers and over riders a job for next winter....
As chroming seems a very expensive thing to be done 
But I believe the results are worth it

Hi guys,
Apologies for my absence from the forum.
I will try to get an update on Reggie in the next day or two but at the moment
I have a question about Dynamos.
The bearings were on the way out on my Dynamo a Lucas C42
So I bought a recon one and it had a £100 surcharge because I had
to return the old one.
I have now sourced another C42 but want to get it refurbished / rebuilt or
whatever the term is. Can anyone advise of a place that does this who they
have used?

You can get a C42 that is actually an alternator but cunningly shaped to look like a dynamo. (if that interests you?)
I tell you what, the C42 seems hellish expensive when you can buy a brand new C40 (copy) for about £50!

I did see the dynalite but they were 400-500£ 
Is the C40 the same inside
