Hi Dave,
I didn't see the post was broken, the awful soldering caught my eye but i was more focussed on the awful Stuart Victoria engine sitting next to the dynamo.  As usual Dennis is on the right track, depending how thick the plastic is right there. Maybe press the motor out of the Stuart housing and replace it with a DC motor of similar dimensions?
Cheers

Spot on Ade.
All good ideas, I have pondered all of them as well as various glue methods. However this version of the dynamo is actually a commercial PM motor in a case.

So I have more options, maybe a different motor which would also allow me to increase the power uotput
