| Some time ago there was a discussion about upgrading the generator on an Ambo to a nice little alternator off a Japanese car. There was even fairly detailed instructions given in a web page, which I saved a local copy of. The sticky bit is the lathe work. Access to a lathe is, for me, only a little less difficult than access to a fissionable materials. (And I don't work in a power plant - I'm a computer programmer.) So the punchline: Does anybody make, or would they like to make, a bolt-on kit for the alternator upgrade? I understand that I'd be paying for convenience, so it would cost some $$$. What prompted this: I bought an electric vest (and just in time for spring, too!) and am worried that the stock electrical system may be, ummm, marginal for this application. Bill Dudley '72 Ambassador '71 Norton Commando a mess o' Hondas Jackson, NJ http://www.casano.com/dudley you need to calculate output amperage of stock generator vs.load.I should think the stock generator would be capable of melting that vest .Need some input from the electrical wizards that belong to this list.IMHO stay with the stock setup.Thanks |
