Loop Alternator Conversion

[wirespokes]

Looks like I'm a little late to this party. 

Greg Field used to sell the mounting brackets and I guess a whole kit including alternator. Other places used to sell the mounting bracket, but not now. Looks like I'll have to make the bracket myself.

Are there drawings anywhere I could access? Any idea where I could locate the bracket new or used?

Harper's has them.

Joe Walano "The Guzzi Doctor" may also have some left to sell.

I installed one on my police Eldo and the hole for the oil line was too high, so unless they've moved it, that needs to be modified. Edit: one other thing I did: removed the powercoating on the underside so there would be a good ground to the case, and removed it also where the alternator contacts the bracket for the same reason.







Greg Bender sells a harness. I bought a Nippon-Denso copy alternator on ebay.

Charlie,

Did the generator light work correctly with the alternator that you linked??

I have a Denso copy for a spare that the light does not work right.

So far it is.

I built my own alternator bracket out of 1-1/2" flat stock and 1/4" pipe. I'll have to search around to see if I have any pictures. The bracket looked sort of like the USS Enterprise

When I bought my current ‘71 police Ambo, the seller had a new Field/Nolan Alt kit still in the box.  I didn’t hesitate to buy it from him to add to the refurb (to include new cylinders) at Charlie’s place.
