An alternator stand features a notch designed to allow the larger diameter of the alternator to clear properly, and it will accept a generator. An OEM generator stand will NOT accept an alternator.

Is everything the same between a generator and alternator installation except for the "stand" it sits on? I guess that'd just be the backing plates that would be left? Are the stands different shaped? I've seen references to "generator/alternator" stands which suggests they are the same, but then again I've seen references to one or the other.... _______________________________________________ vintagvw site list [email protected] http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw
