Hi
I have just learnt about these Dynamo lookalikes, so you can retain original appearance while having Alternator performance.

Nice idea ,I have wondered about doing that myself..
The price for the one on the link is a bit steep!

Er... Do you open your bonnets at shows, a standard alternator would only be noticed by ten per cent of the people who look at it.
Sorry... It's probably just me. Embarassed

Perhaps you could fit a motor bike alternator inside the old housing ???

I had the bonnet open at a show last year when one of those know-all types with his entourage passed by and announced "this one has a belt driven supercharger"!!!!!!!
as you say next to no one would notice.
