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.
