Would you please consider the following points for the improvement of the electrical system.

suggested by RG {Mr Rowledge} :-

(1) That the holes in the distribution box cover through which pass the securing bolts be coned or otherwise altered so that the correct position when replacing the cover is more easily found.

(2) That some indication (e.g. an arrow) be provided on the dynamo commutator end cover to facilitate its removal.

(3) That the centre plate in which the pawls of the commutator end cover engage might be better made and just as cheaply as a die casting.
