I too am running a mini one wire Nippondenso alternator. Certainly bigger
than what Bruce is talking about, mine weighs about 6 pounds.
In doing the research on alternators, make sure you look at the max RPM the
alternator is designed to spin, and buy your pulleys accordingly.
Tiny alternators designed for tractors don't like spinning at 18,000+ RPM's.
Cheers
