<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I do know that Standard Motors who, from the beginning of the automobile industry, was and still is a major American manufacturer of coils, relays, etc, does not
recommend putting any of those items on the motor due to vibration. I know this because I read their instructions on how to install a coil relay between the starter switch and the glow plugs on my diesel engine in by sailboat. The manufacturer of the engine
Universal Westerbek sells a bracket to mount the coil on the engine because it was always mounted there, I guess. Hard to change old habits.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I’ve had an alternator in my BT7 for a while now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I didn’t mount mine on the alternator either.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Now, I’m wondering why everybody found ingenious places to put the coils and nobody ingeniously adapted their brackets to fit onto their alternator.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Do alternators get too hot? Do they give off some kind of magic death ray that fries coils or what??<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Any reasons not to do it??<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
