<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">Thank you for this. As ever, all advice sought is welcome. However....per my comment to your answer to my (previous) BJ8 questions, it would be really helpful if you applied your huge enthusiasm and knowledge to the question asked. I’m sure that your knowledge is encyclopaedic, but maybe, when you’re asked a simple question by a simple person, for once give a simple answer.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;">People who swap a generator for an alternator like to modify in any way. 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.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;">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></div>

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