Generator Rebuild Options

Post by Knoxy »

I’m posting in the 356 forum in the hope of a wider response. I am looking for some experience of a reliable source to refurbish the Generator / Dynamo on my car.

Although fitted to my 912, the unit is the standard Bosch 300W 25A unit.

I have tried an internet search but the resulting options are limited. I have identified a company called Robson & Francis Rewinds Ltd in London.

I’d appreciate any Experience of this company or suggestions.

Thanks

If you search EBay you can buy the bits and rebuild it yourself for about £150. It all comes from the States and replaces everything, so you have a new generator.

As Neil says Broadway Electrical !! Super job on my starter motor. Rob did mine if he is still there. Many 356 shops use them too.

Broadway Electrical - fantastic job, Rob really knows his stuff, I think most of the 356 parts suppliers (Roger Bray for example) use them.

They rebuilt my generator, plus 2 starter motors, all excellent. They can also rebuild you wiper motor too which is worth knowing
