                  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>
