Anybody who knows more about electrics know there is no need for an alternator at all on Healeys. its only to adjust the rehulator to work as it should. But that´s to difficult for most I suspect.<br /></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">those selling these alternators are quite happy to sell them as people like to modify and they also sell you one of these performance coils and they need to be kept cool and best is to put the coil in the boot to keep it cool. Haven´t seen that so far but can´t await to see it.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve had an alternator in my BT7 for a while now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, when I was doing the job, I looked at pictures of other people’s installations. Nobody’s coil was mounted on the alternator as coils were/are mounted on the generators.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I didn’t mount mine on the alternator either.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, I’m wondering why everybody found ingenious places to put the coils and nobody ingeniously adapted their brackets to fit onto their alternator.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do alternators get too hot? Do they give off some kind of magic death ray that fries coils or what??</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any reasons not to do it??</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Simon</p>
