I just finished a "generator to alternator" conversion on my 1966 Austin Healey Sprite. I took pics along the way showing the brackets I fabricated and modifications to the alternator and voltage regulator. I used the VR as a terminal block.
My philosophy along the way was to make mods to the alternator and not make mods to the Sprite - like not shaving away the mounting bracket on the water pump to get the belt in proper alignment. So all my mods can easily be "undone" if I or a new owner should want to go back to a generator. (why?)
I also updated my wiring diagram to show the new wiring with the alternator (and relays I added in my last project). A pic of the wiring diagram is included.
The pics are at my Flickr album at the URL below.
