Dynamo, alternator & starter re-conditioners seem to be a dying breed.

I used to have 2 or thre to choose from round here & now they have ALL closed down.

I've used these guys, they are very good and even were able to supply date correct units.

Just going off their website (and having been in that industry many many years ago), these guys really do talk the talk and walk the walk. I've bookmarked their website and likely be sending them work. Thanks and I hope they maybe handy for others.

Hugh Wylie not been in UK for two years

I could suggest a shop in Gloucestershire. I'm not the biggest fan of the new ones from overseas

We also have a customer who just does Magnetos should you get all old-fashioned

I had two dynamos and a starter reconditioned at a place I've been using your years, had problems with them so ended up buying from Mini Spares instead, ye I know! So far no problems, cheaper too.
