[Fot] What alternators have been used on the TRactor TRiumph for racing

[David Gott]

Hi Mike,
We are running what is essentially a 35 amp Kubota alternator.  It’s a denso unit with a one wire setup.   Our local alternator shop assembled it to spec from their selection of “legos.”   Dad had a one wire unit like you described that failed, and they were able to copy it with their parts.  (Chelmsford Auto Electric in Tyngsboro, MA). 
I hope that helps!

I've had a small one wire drag alternator on our TR3 for endless years.

Well, it has failed and even an old school generator shop near by cant get parts to fix it.

Worse yet, he cant figure out what it was originally used on to try and get a new/rebuilt one.

This one has mounting holes roughly 6" apart and whose mounting ears are very nearly flush with one another

It is barely 4' from the front casting to the back of the back plate.

 

Is there anyone else using a small alternator that has internal regulation they could recommend I look for?
