[Healeys] Fwd: Re: dynamo alternator conversion

[Oudesluys]

The Lucas 15ACR and 17ACR were the norm more or less in the 70's and 
were used even after that. The 17ACR is rated 36Amps. You can buy NOS 
17ACR's or new replacements (100 something) for less than GBP50. Very 
easy to service and plenty of parts available. The AC-Delco equivalent 
(as on many 70's Vauxhalls) seems to be more reliable. Harder to find an 
more expensive.
However these are not the generator look-a-like alternators we are 
talking about.
