o unit of some
kind.=C2=A0 There are instructions out there somewhere from the late '90s a=

these on Triumphs.

I've had a small one wire drag alternator on our TR3 for endless years.

Well, it has failed and even an old school generator shop near by cant get =
parts to fix it.

Worse yet, he cant figure out what it was originally used on to try and get=
 a new/rebuilt one.

This one has mounting holes roughly 6" apart and whose mounting ears are ve=
ry nearly flush with one another

It is barely 4' from the front casting to the back of the back plate.

=C2=A0

Is there anyone else using a small alternator that has internal regulation =
they could recommend I look for?
