Dave, take a cue from the hot rod set and use the GM 65 amp single wire
alt.! I did this conversion on my Tiger several years ago, and it was a
big improvment over the wimpy 25 amp generator. The only big chage is
that you have to rig a volmeter in place of the amp gauge, which was no
big deal. If the generator hangs anything like the alt on my TR6,
working out a way to hang it should pose no big prob's.
