Your cousin can try it and tell us how long the Dynalite survived. 1month,
3 month or if you are luckky a couple of months more. They usually die the
heat death. Btw. 28 Amps you can get as a maximum, not more.
Why I know that? The company I am working for sells them and I am
responsible to handle customer complains.
other brand is Dynamator. You can try tem as well - same result.
Sorry I do not tell more as its Streng verboten, as we say in Germany.

Betreff: [Healeys] Dynalite or which alternator to C42 Generator

My nephew?s generator issues may resolve themselves soon. May??.
We may look at replacing the C42 in his BJ8 with an alternator, one of the
generator lookalikes.
Dynalite is one of the names I?ve come across, as sold by Holden?s. The
Usual Suspects don?t seem to give their lookalikes their brand names.
Anyhow, I know this topic came up a few months back, but I wasn?t
interested then! So:-
Does anyone have experience of these things?
Is any brand better than another??
Etcetc.
Holden?s claim 45amps for theirs. AHSpares claim 50amps. A BJ8?s C42
generator kicks out 30amps max. It seems that one does need the BIG fuse in
the Dummy Control Box. When I put in my alternator, a Lucas ACR, I put in
an extra cable to carry the extra amps??.apparently if the alternator is
really belting out the amps, the old wiring is a bit marginal.
Any other thoughts?
Kind advice to the effect that putting more modern electrics in our old
bangers is streng verboten is unnecessary at this time.
Thanks,
Simon
