[Healeys] Mount a coil on an alternator.

[Simon Lachlan]

Thanks for all the help and advice concerning my query.

I was never happy with where I’d put the coil after swapping generator for alternator so, as you’ll recall, I was looking for a better location.

It seemed that I might as well try to mount it on top of the alternator. I’d been assured that alternators would be even less likely to “interfere” with a coil than a generator and vice verca and, if that location had been good enough with a generator (heat and vibration), why not with an alternator?

I bought an old Lucas bracket on eBay, adjusted the curve, got a much longer bolt and stuck the assembly onto the alternator. Plainly, it wasn’t quite that simple but that’s the précis version.

See attached.
