I got my 12v kit from these guys: ..:: Certified Auto Electric - Products ::.. The link is to an alternator you can buy as either 6 or 12v.

Keep in mind there are still upgrades needed to use a higher-output alternator even at 6 volts, and if you go 1-wire there are some wiring modifications. Not bad, tho. I'd check their eBay auctions for complete kits (slingshot and alternator) although you can modify a GM alternator to use the stock generator mount.
