I was asked about the Gen to alt conversion and here is the link. A bit pricey but could be the ticket for those wanting to stay OEM looking.

I built a new generator for around $75. I bought every thing new The only thing that was used was the case and the pully. I bought the a new arm feald coiles and end plates with brushes from dennis carpender and electric motor bearings from mc master carr. It has no problems with charging or with running headlights heater wipers amfm radio. I seem to get about 7 to 8 years out of batterys as well.

$75 dollars seems very reasonable.If something should happen to the one that is on it,i wouldn't have to have on right off. I'm not planning on useing as a daily driver so i would have time to order replacements parts,and i now know where they are available.your information has been very helpful.thank you
