That sounds like a good idea to me.  If anyone is interested Summit
 sell a one wire 100 amp Chevy (GM) alternator for $119.99.
I am not sure but by the descritpion in the catalog it sounds like 
the only wire on this goes to to battery/starter.
Summit does not have any Triumph parts but they sell a lot of universal stuff,
 and have a decent return policy if it won't work.  They also don't charge
sales tax and 
provide free UPS gound.
I have bought a lot of stuff from they for my Camaro and never had any trouble.
No I don't have any interest in there company, etc....
The part number for the alternator is SUM-G1667 100 amp 119.99
                                                                   SUM-G1666
63 AMP 114.99
Personally for an extra $5.00 I'd take the 100 amp.
there order number is 330-630-3030
If you have any queastions about there alternators they will know a lot more
than me.
Don't let them sell you a catalog, if you order something they will put you
on there mailing list
and send them to you all the time.
I was going to attach a jpg of the add but I have not seen anyone else
sending attachments
Is there some sort of a tabu against attachments (24K), are they not
forwarded, or
is it a coincidence that  I have not seen any?

Still looking for my Spitfire.
