Passed the W.O.F.

My 18s just passed it's first warrant of fitness since I bought it five months ago. Nothing has fallen off for several hundred miles and everything works now except the dynamo, hey you can't have everything.
I have even got her a new reg plate, I exchanged the unlucky "13SRI" for "AJS51" so things are looking much better now.
The inspectors laughed at my 6volt headlamp which would not even register bright enough to work their lamp alignment machine. They were obviously sympathetic to a 61 years old machine, which was good to see.

Charge up the battery first.

What I meant to say was "I took in my old Commando without an alternator ,but with a charged battery and it passed all tests with flying
colours even the horn test...
Since put in an alternator and it keeps it charged up as well as runs the lights and all else.Edited by - cf160 on 14 Apr 2012 10:07:30 PM

I guess he only needs a penlight battery (AA) then.

Of course the batt was just off the charger!

I guess you need two penlights(AA) then.
