Hey all ~

I know we've been down this road numbers of times but I was wondering if,
among those who have converted to the use of an alternator, is there a
model
someone can recommend? Since some folks ask <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>why<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>, I anticipate adding
electrical loads with various electrical needs and yes, I'd like to
consider
use of LED headlamps. Seems like the Moss conversion kit (130-058) is
somewhat pricey, being north of $300.

<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=%20107952">http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=%20107952</a>

Thanks!

Consider a Bosch Alternator...uses t he original Lucas 3 pin connector

                  style="font-size:12.0pt">Ten or 12 years ago I put
                  together a conversion kit based on various
                  instructions I found on the web. Do
                  a search on "Replacing generator with a GM alternator
                  in a Triumph"
                  and you'll find several variations of how to
                  accomplish the job.<br>
                  <br>
                  The key components are a Delco 10Si alternator (used
                  on roughly a billion GM
                  products and available anywhere) and a wide pulley
                  that I got from an
                  agricultural machinery supplier. The alternator
                  required some trimming of the
                  mounting boss to get the belt alignment right, but its
                  very simple. I directly
                  wired the alternator output to the battery via a heavy
                  duty fuse hidden inside
                  the gutted voltage regulator case to avoid any issues
                  with stressing out the
                  wiring harness. I also recall installing a resistor in
                  parallel on the
                  generator light to get the alternator to kick in at a
                  lower RPM. <br>
                  <br>
                  It works great and is completely reversible if a
                  future owner ever wants to
                  experience life with a 19 amp generator.<br>
                  <br>
                  Good luck.<br>

I have been looking for an alternative alternator.  But I would like one 
that is more easily available than most of the options I have seen.

When we were on the road in my wife's TR250, we could not find anything 
that was available locally.  All of the options like the Camaro and 
Fiesta that I have seen are about 30 years old and were not on hand.  
Everything was going to take 2 or 3 days to get to the FLAPS.

We ended up having a Lucas one shipped, from one of the big suppliers, 
overnight to our next planned stop and just made use of friendly shops 
to keep the battery charges as we drove.  Stop for lunch - found a shop 
near a restaurant.  Stopped for ice cream found a nearby shop.  Same for 
supper.

I've seen reference to this Bosch alternator for 6 cyl TR engines. Will it b=
olt right up on a 4 cyl?
