When a new bronze bush is fitted, it usually becomes distorted. A new bonze
bush should always be reamed to assure proper diameter and roundness after
instillation.

Time to pull the LR manual.....
Three dynamos were used on the series II Land Rovers.
The earliest, C39/PV2 is rated at 19 Amps
This was followed by C40/1, rated at 22 Amps
The 2.6 L petrol engined Land Rovers used the C42 dynamo rated at 30 amps.
The C42 dynamo came paired with the RB 340/37517 voltage regulator. If you
contact a Land Rover parts house tell them that you have a '67 NADA 109
with the 2.6L six cylinder engine. That you are after the C42 dynamo and
matching regulator.
Understand that the Land Rover dynamos have a narrower pully installed and
you would ether need to pick up Ken Gallander's harmonic dampener kit that
uses the narrow belt, or affix the wider pully.
The late Series IIA Land Rovers came with a 42 amp alternator, Lucas11AC.
Sorry I wasn't reading the thread before this message was addressed to me.
I hope I answered your question.
