Installing a a bottle generator
Any advice on installing a Union 6V bottle generator with mounting bracket onto a 1973 Raleigh Sports? I have such a generator that I know for sure works. I would like to incorporate it into the following lighting system that I bought off ebay: a headlight (that fits onto the Raleigh mounting bracket) with two wires exiting, one of the wires going to the taillight and the other splitting and ending in two "C-shaped" copper connectors. The length of the two wires seems to indicate that the generator would have to go onto the front wheel. I suspect that this lighting system was part of a Sturmey-Archer dynohub in some past life. Also, is there some way to test if the lights work before I begin the installation? (I really don't know much about electricity.)
