the bent metal fan blades are pretty crude, and produce a lower pressure
area at the front the alternator... seems like a reverse rotation would
not be such a concern, as it will still produce a difference in pressure.
My question is how much of a difference. >>
It looks like if you left the cooling fan the way it is and spun the
alternator in the opposite direction, the blades might actually force air
into the alt. I wonder if you can maybe just flip the fan assembly around...?
I guess using an alt designed for reverse-rotation duty might be best, but
maybe not totally necessary...??
