[M Lafayette]

Can we get more of a close up on how it's installed?

Thank you Theo

 

I just checked Rock Auto.com – the 50 amp has an external regulator, the 55 amp has an internal regulator.

I used that alternator (early 80's Toyota) in my first alternator conversion. It has an internal regulator which makes wiring it a breeze and it still has a light output compatible with the Tiger dash light indicator. 

I don't recall its rating off the top of my head but I think it is 55 amps. So be careful if you have an ammeter because this thing can pin it.

The 1982 and earlier Toyota Alternator looks promising.

No guarantee

I do not have parts on hand to investigate this install.

I have no details about this install, thus my ask.

 

Here are my observations:

 

Not sure about what alternator is used.

Long bolt – 7/16” around 8.5” long

3 spacers – these will vary, depends on the Alternator

The adjustment arm is not showing – original arm might work

Stock Tiger heavy cast iron bracket, long bolt, Ford alternator, 3 custom spacers...

Different strokes...  This one should work ok.

This is a very interesting Alternator install using the Tiger generator bracket.

 

Anyone have a detailed description of this install?
