[Healeys] Adding Alternator to 60 BT7

[Oudesluys]

An alternator is the preferred option. You can replace the existing 
generator by a generator look alike alternator, but they are very pricy. 
A Lucas 16-18ACR or Delco equivalent was the usual alternator in the 
late 60's/70's/80's. Found on most British cars (Mini, Triumph, MG, 
Landrover, Jensen Healey etc.) from that era plus a few other Europeans 
e.g. SAAB. A partial very simple rewire is at hand as there is no 
control box neccesary.
These Lucas units can be found new for less than $60 in Europe. I do not 
know the US situation.
