Good for you Raymond!

Since you are not reusing the filter couldn't you just punch a hole in the bottom of it?A downside of the spin-on filter - makes draining the oil very messy.

This power switching kind of regulator is known as a "B" type. On your "new" later stator, the brushes are wired opposite. The inner brush is fed constant switched power, it's powered any time the key is on. The outer brush is fed a regulated ground from the regulator. This ground switching kind of regulator is known as an "A" type.
Also keep in mind that you can't install this thing until you swap engines. It won't work with your current charging system.
Here's a schematic for the A type system Raymond. Link.The next question is going to be how do I wire it up to the alternator and rectifier. But haven't got that far along just yet.
You can also remove the stock electronic ignition pick-up and it's associated wiring from the later stator if you like. No need or use for it with your Boyer.
Betcha if you bend that sprocket tab washer flat the sprocket nut is finger tight..
Hi Machine, either finger tight or done up so hard it takes extreme measures to remove it.
There don't seem to be any middle ground in undoing that nut.
The eagle eyed may spot that a Boyer Bransden rotor has found its way into the 2F0 camshaft . . .
Yes, do make sure to route that alternator wiring loom behind the shift shaft guard or you could end up with this .....
This is what caused my $200 Special's charging issues and why the owner stopped driving it. Of note, you also appear to be missing the wire loom clip that attaches to the engine case behind and just to the rear of the sprocket. You'll need to rig something up for that, something to hold the loom in against the case and away from the chain.
The eagle eyed will no doubt have spotted before I did that there is no gear change shaft guard.
Also, discovered one bolt missing from the starter motor cover - these are of course related issues.
No problemo, remove guard from Spare and clean it up a bit:

Clearly, it's had a hard life. Goes with the territory where it has lived for 40-plus years. Poor thing deserves a rest. But unfortunately, it's not going to get one:

Coated the gear change shaft with grease first and whanged the guard on. The bolt that secured it on the 447- replaces the missing one on the new engine. I assume that the alternator cable routes behind the tab that locates to the starter motor cover?
Nice to have time to mess about with these little issues. No real sense of urgency to get the bike back on the road . . .
If anybody reads that in a few years time, the significance will be lost?
