[Healeys] Is it a generator? No!

[Quinn, Patrick]

Bloody Hell!



And I thought the Au$900 being asked here was expensive.



Thanks Alan! I learn something new every day.

Patrick -

Holden sells these things, including the rewired regulator boxes for
really super duper cheap already:

I have to check my pockets to see if I have the spare change....

G'day

Over the years I have seen with interest those Austin-Healey owners who
have fitted modern alternators to their cars.

Honestly I have thought about it but the idea of a modern alternator
does not appeal. Not that I am really into concours any more. It's just
I don't like the look of them.

I have often thought that why an alternator couldn't look like a
generator. Well I have just been sent some photos from a business here
in Australia that is offering on an exchange basis, alternators that
have been built inside the casing of a generator. Yes they even throw in
the plans to make your existing regulator into a non-working dummy.

Yes the polarity still has to be changed to negative earth, but unless
you tell the concours police how are they going to know?

The website is www.caenterprises.com.au

However I don't think it yet rates a mention on the site, being so new.

I have some pics if you want any. Of course I get a zillion drachmas for
every one sold - I wish!
