Wartime 45watt ‘short body’ dynamos were fitted with an ‘Oilite’ bush on the brush end. of the armature. The 60watt ‘long body’ dynamo was introduced in 1954 and replaced the earlier type. This later type is frequently found on earlier machines.
 
Magneto
Points end bearing: E15
Drive end bearing. Two types of drive end bearing were used in Lucas ‘Magdyno’ mags. The periods of use overlapped each other so it is not possible to be specific about which type would be used in a given year as this period of change coincided with the late pre war and wartime period. 
Type 1: N3048
Type 2: E15
The E15 is the more common and later type. N3048 is generally no longer available.
