Hello all, just a note of trivia, In 1975 whilst driving home at night in my 39 Richards Six, the headlights suddenly went extremely bright then vanished. I discovered thet my battery lead had come off and allowed the generator to peak with no resistance or load. I am an electrician by trade and later found that this can exceed 23 volts for a 6 volt system. If you persist then you will throw the solder from the commutator. Just a few cents worth to keep your connections clean.PT
