pondering gently on a sunday afternoon over the Gordon wiring thats to be done in the near future . i cannot , in my simple mind, reconcile the wiring diagram specifically for the 1958 Gordon with the wiring diagram in the 1955 Villiers 8E / R booklet .
the Gordon diagram appears to show an earthed rectifier but the Villiers diagram specifically says this MUST be insulated from the frame , and this is further stressed in the blurb . why would the steel bodied car and a steel framed motorcycle be so different or did they at some stage alter the magneto ?
is the Gordon manual a misprint ? is the Villiers booklet a misprint - seems unlikely . and what will happen if i do it wrong
