alternator in your generator

Well the Lucas replacement is more than 3 times what I paid for my right hand drive BE. I will stick to the stock unit or go alternator.
 
$1245.00 ?!?

you have got to be kidding.
 
I can't seem to remember where I saw it, but another outfit is selling an alternator that has the external appearance as a generator, but costs about $700-$800, still too much for me.

I wonder how this guy makes these. I suspect he just uses the guts of an existing alternator and manages to fit it into the generator housing somehow.
 
So what happens when the gener-nator goes belly-up and you need replacement parts or swap it out? I saw nothing on the site about that.
 
For $700 to $1,000, you can have two or three rebuilt originals on the shelf and one in the trunk. Hot rodders might go for it to keep the period look, but way out of line for me on a stock vehicle. JMHO.PJ
 
600 bucks will buy you a trick monkey with a hand crank "juice" maker....

Just put him in the trunk.
:jester:
