So, Any  recommendations for an alternator for this application?  Would
prefer  a small production unit but am open to all options.

Jack Woehrle sagely spoke over the  'net:



You probably have a Rabbit motor so I think it might be easy to use the  
parts for that. However, there are all kinds of Jap and Korean ALTS that will  
work. The hardest part is the mounting. They all can be used as a one-wire with  
a jumper, but you need a cut-off switch. You can also do it with a diode. 
Anyone  with a little electronic knowledge can tell you how and it is probably on 
the  internet. I can do it but I can't tell you how without screwing it up. 
Someone  here can do that better. Trust me, it is pretty simple.
