Did I read it some where or is it true that an older 6V gen. can be rewired into a 12V alternator? JH

 

Quite a few of the antique parts houses sell a 'slingshot bracket' which mounts an alternator (usually a chevy one wire) onto the original generator mounting.If you want it to look original you can have your generator rewired to a 12 volt generator. Just today I found an ad in the latest Vintage Truck Magazine for an outfit called Gerer-nator that builds an alternator inside of an original old generator.Of course check with the vendors who support this site,but I think this is a whole new type of thing. www,Gener-Nator.com. Hope this helps, GB

 

Jon Henry,

Check out the FordFlathead1932to1953 forum. Lot of info about alternators for flatheads.

Thanks for the feedback. I ended up subscribing to the mag. 'cus it looks interesting and worthwhile. Turns out there's a local shop that rewires old stuff like this, will check them out! See ya

 

Just purchased a Streetrod magazine and they had an ad for an alternator built into a generator housing, so it would look stock.
