Pertinax Terminal Board

[Jim D 5112]

A small steel tinners rivet or even a modified nail of the proper size would work. Not all aluminum rivets are created equal. Some of the ones used in the aircraft industry are quite strong. I have thousands of rivets in all sorts of different sizes, materials and configurations.

Jim, I used brass rivets.



First I clean with a wire brush the are for the rivet to make ground contact.





This is the final result.



The bolt was too big and I cut it’s head off.





The final job.



I proceed with the installation of the rest of the components, secure the housing and start with the wiring.





But now I’m looking for this part. According to Salis is a Spacer bolt for generator cover BMW part number: 12318002116.7 and I can’t find it in the USA.

Do you have another part number at hand?

[San Arthur]

Ok
Only 2 wires out from the field coils
The yellow one that goes to the terminal with the blue wire is D+
So the other wire from the field coils would be the field wire and goes to F on the regulator

I have Ulis 6V Voltage Regulator and explains the 2nd wire of the generator is unnecessary and must be insulated.

I think this solves the mystery of the extra wire. Hahahaha

The manual also explains that brushes are connected crosswise.

While I find a spacer bolt for the generator cover ( Salis 12318002116.7).

I decided to make my own.

I purchase a few M4 by 20mm Female-Female Hex Brass Spacer Standoff and some M4 bolts.





I cut the M4 bolt's head off. And glued it to the hex spacer.





I should work until I found an original replacement.
