Patrick et al, for you guys here in the colonies there is a U.S. manufacture
of alternators that look like generators
http://www.powermastermotorsports.com/powergen.html These claim to put out
more amps than the others listed....saying 60 amps at idle. These are
designed to simulate the old U.S. cars generators. I've never done the due
diligence to see if the size is a match for my Healey but if you were in the
market it would be worth the effort as I believe these go for around $350ish
which seems to be less than the others.

G'day
Over the years I have seen with interest those Austin-Healey owners who
have fitted modern alternators to their cars.
Honestly I have thought about it but the idea of a modern alternator
does not appeal. Not that I am really into concours any more. It's just
I don't like the look of them.
I have often thought that why an alternator couldn't look like a
generator. Well I have just been sent some photos from a business here
in Australia that is offering on an exchange basis, alternators that
have been built inside the casing of a generator. Yes they even throw in
the plans to make your existing regulator into a non-working dummy.
Yes the polarity still has to be changed to negative earth, but unless
you tell the concours police how are they going to know?
The website is www.caenterprises.com.au
However I don't think it yet rates a mention on the site, being so new.
I have some pics if you want any. Of course I get a zillion drachmas for
every one sold - I wish!
