I have a 71/2 Midget (date of construction 71, serial number 72, 
registered in 73) which was equipped originally with an alternator. 
Unfortunately I have one sorrow alternator and two brand new generators 
from the purchase of a few basket case midgets. 

Question:

Is there a compelling reason to favour an alternator (lucus) over a 
generator?

And if not, is it a simple retro conversion back to a generator on a car 
designed for an alternator?

Appreciate any comments....glenn
