Anyone know David Riker?

[Strapping_Lad]

I was checking out his site and I need to ask a few questions about his alternator conversion. His email isn't active anymore. Any help getting in touch with him would be great!

Cheers!

Hi Rusty,

Sorry but I for one never heard of this gent.

Good Luck,

Russ

What are your questions? It seems like he was pretty thorough about his conversion! I went a similar route, but used a Datsun (Nissan) alternator. Quite a straight forward conversion!

Maybe what you need is in the excellent link a couple of days ago in the forum?

See the 'Alternate Alternator' thread, and clic on the link offered in 'Atrus' reply: #591250 dated 07-08-09.

He posts/reads the spridgets list from autox.team.net

He still has the midget freshly repaired from a collision.

I wanted to know if he had to rotate the front housing or if his mounting ears came that way and what size pulley he used. Inner and outer diameter. I bought the alternator he mentioned in the instructions, but the mount tabs are just ever so slightly different. The alternator I bought would have the plug terminal in a different position. It is the right alternator but I don't know why it is slightly different.
