I'm sure many of us would like to see how you did it. Perhaps post the pictures here?

Here are two more photos; I can't do more without dismantling the pieces. I've also attached a rough diagram.
If you give me some time, I can make you some working drawings.

When I made my conversion I decided to do away with the distributer, which meant that I did not have to modify the crankcase. I extended the shaft to the left of the alternator and mounted a Boyer ignition unit that would fail after a few hundred miles, since replaced with a Wassels unit. Bloody awkward to fit, but the standard dynamo isn't easy without stripping the whole bike. I have 4 drawings including a plate for mounting the ignition system. There is an adapter - alternator to engine, a new back and front plate and ignition housing. Available as DXF, SKF or .doc files if anyone is interested. Bennett's version retains the distributer so involves less palaver.

Here are the working drawings for installing the alternator on an Ariel MK1.
I can provide the DWG drawings if needed.

A better engineered job than mine! Very nice

Thanks Roger, I'm glad a technician like you appreciates my work.
