My first job was a vacation job as a field assistant with the BMR. It included daily use and maintenance of several Series 1s. And one of the things I remember quite clearly is having to tighten the generator bolts quite often!

Well, following my first failed attempt at the simplest of tasks - tightening Matilda's fanbelt, it was with some trepidation that I returned to the scene of vast nasal discharge from the week previous and tried again.....
And this time, it was very easy. Yes - idiot me has managed it! :banana:
What I learnt.....
1. Don't attempt automotive repairs, however mundane, under the influence of general anaesthesia.
2. Ask yourself - is it true that anyone who is able to adjust a fanbelt is necessarily a contortionist?
3. If you find the answer to #2 is false, then think about it for even a few seconds.
4. Remove the air filter and battery,
5. Go right ahead and easily adjust dynamo position/fan belt tension.
6. Refit battery and airfilter.
:D
