I'm glad you found the Daventry place helpful. I was very grateful when Brian put me on to them. I had an ex-car 55A alternator on Thorn and it overheated on the way back from the first BP NWF. The problem was at least partly because it spins the opposite way to that which it would have done in a car so the fan was less efficient. I eventually cured the problem by fitting an extra (computer) fan in a cowling on the back to provide extra cooling. Cheers Guy -- Guy Morgan nb Virgo, WFB, Stockton GU Defend the waterways.
