Pete,
I have researched the alternator issue and have identified a Denso 40
amp and created a set of brackets for it. It is mounted behind cyl
#2. I drive it off a smaller pulley behind the dampener. Contact me
off list and I can shoot you some photos.

My suggestion is HID. They use less power once warmed up.
A 55w halogen bulb uses 10-15 amps vs a 35w HID which uses 20 amps for
starting, dropping to 3 - 6amps once warm.
Given a 35w HID is roughly equivalent to a 100h Halogen this is very
efficient.

I have been working on sizing my alternator, but have been stymied by several
things. My full load toals about 24 amps if I use halogen landing lights (about
8 amps) and keep them on all the time as a safety measure. I tried several LED
light setswhich draw less than one amp, but they

Has anyone on this net hung an automotive style alternator on a VW. I'm
thinking of changing my prop extention with a belt grove and hanging an
alternator on the front.

This probably sounds really stupid, so I'll ask anyway!!! I have a
Revmaster 2100 with the standard alternator, 2 wires leaving from it,
going to a connector that has a couple of pins jumped and then to the
voltage regulator, etc.
For lack of a diagram, I installed a relay between alternator
a few questions
i have a hapi alternator is it ok to put a switch in line to isolate it -will
it damage the unit in any way
my thnking here runs like -what if the alternator goes overvoltage and cooks
other things

if you install an alternator on a revmaster 2180 would the engine cowling
interfere

I am now busily involved in my KR's weight reduction program, and was
wondering if it is really necessary to have a battery on board. Without
the battery and starter I can save perhaps 30 Lbs...
BUT, my understanding of the alternator system is that I need a battery

Mark,
Your observation is why I elected to go with a late model CS alternator from
GM. It has the capability to deliver up to 80 amps continuous draw, with
internal self regulation, self cooling with its own fan, and 3 wire hook up to
the system. It weighs twice what the Dynamo system

Think about how much time, effort, and money, it is going to cost you. Then
think about the amount of time you are going to leave your KR parked out in

That should give you the answer

What's the chances of making a bracket to mount a GM self contained unit.
They put out some serious juice if you have room under the cowl. No belt? No
problem, press off the pulley and fit a starter gear to
If I was any good at math I would figure out the ratio of the standard
alternator pulley to crankshaft as in automobile versus flywheel to starter
gear. Might prove interesting as I'm sure any machinist worth his salt could
turn out a proper ratio gear for the alternator in that situation. Could
