Model 14 Rectifier

My 1960 model 14 has a grey Wipac rectifier S2642 approx 3" square bolted to rear mudguard and has 3 terminals. Can this be replaced with the Solid State Rectifier
part no 900601 from spares dept with 4 terminals.

Yes. To original rectifiers had three terminals and earthed through the fixing to the frame/mudguard/...... The 4th terminal on the solid state ones is for the earth.

So be careful with polarity which can be reversed on the solid state rectifier. From Ebay pictures it seems that the S2642 is for positive earth.

Someone cleverer than me will have to explain about polarity. I bought one on of the little square blocks for my ( +ive earth ) LE from the LeVelo Club's spares and fitted whatever it was they sent. It seemed to work so I never had to worry about such things. Fortunately.

If you are really clever Maplin do such things very cheap

900601 is suitable for both neg. or pos. earth

Thanks for advice, can I still fix it to the rear mudguard?
