Ten or 12 years ago I put together a conversion kit based on various
instructions I found on the web. Do a search on "Replacing generator
with a GM alternator in a Triumph" and you'll find several
variations of how to accomplish the job.<br>
<br>
The key components are a Delco 10Si alternator (used on roughly a
billion GM products and available anywhere) and a wide pulley that I
got from an agricultural machinery supplier.� The alternator
required some trimming of the mounting boss to get the belt
alignment right, but its very simple. I directly wired the
alternator output to the battery via a heavy duty fuse hidden inside
the gutted voltage regulator case to avoid any issues with stressing
out the wiring harness. I also recall installing a resistor in
parallel on the generator light to get the alternator to kick in at
a lower RPM.� <br>
<br>
It works great and is completely reversible if a future owner ever
wants to experience life with a 19 amp generator.<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>

Hey all ~
I know we've been down this road numbers of times but I was wondering if,
among those who have converted to the use of an alternator, is there a
model
someone can recommend? Since some folks ask <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>why<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>, I anticipate adding
electrical loads with various electrical needs and yes, I'd like to
consider
use of LED headlamps. Seems like the Moss conversion kit (130-058) is
somewhat pricey, being north of $300.
