I just finished mounting a Sparx 3 phase stator to my '75 Mk III, a chore that was far from plug-n-play. Turns out, for me anyway, that the raised platform that lives in the Mk III was a bit too small to accomodate the Sparx stator; the convolutions in the rubberized covering were too small to fit over the stud bosses and the lamanated metal core was too larger to fit onto the radius cut for the OE Lucas part. Dremel to the rescue...
I have read about "interference" with the rotor, hope I don't have that malady...
This is one of the prime reasons I really enjoy working on this machine: everything needs to be fitted. I made a visit to the Smith & Wesson arms factory in Springfield, Massachusetts some years ago, which, ironically enough, was English owned at the time. They had plenty of CNC machine set-ups, but every firearm was individually assembled by a "fitter" who made sure that all parts worked well together.
Any of you experience similar issue when fitting a Sparx to your Mk III?
