Wanted MT500 alternator windings

Hi does anyone have a good work set of alternator windings. The low speed charging coil has died on mine which is making it difficult to start.

Thanks in advance.

I use Sprint motorcycles in Wakefield can do bores under 80mm. For anything bigger I use Lockside engineering in Castleford. Hope this helps
