John and List,
     You can get a pully and all necessary wiring parts to make this
conversion from Fifth Ave Antique Auto Parts in Kanas.  Their telephone #
is 913-632-3450    fax # 913-632-6154.  Talk to Randy Rundle.  He custom
makes pullies to fit these alternators ( about $35.) He also has  necessary
DA plug for this conversion.  I did this on my TR4A  using these parts and
have been extremely happy with the results.  I also followed Dan Masters
instructions.  I will never have a generator again on a daily driver.  Good
luck.
