sentra Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 just currently looking around, if someone knew of something common would be cool. prefer nose mounting flange if it is even a thing, reason being I (will) have a flat plate on the front of my engine that the anclillerys bolt to, so I can run a sealed drive easily, if I do it with a modified normal pivot mount one I end up with a kludge getting sealing nice/easy ugly packers and stuff. the smaller the better. monster bearings would also be cooo l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Diahatsu Mira's have teeny tiny alternators that pump out decent amps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Does it matter which direction you spin an alternator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmatt4 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 yes and no with the alternator spinning the wrong way ,Yes it will charge but it will get hotter because of the way the fan is designed to run but has seen them work faultless if the are mounted in a location with heaps of airflow and for a small powerfull alternator look at a kabota tractor 60amp internal fan alternator i install them on race cars all the time http://www.ebay.com/itm/110961818668?item=110961818668&viewitem=&category=6755&vxp=mtr or one of these they are permanant magnet type so no wearing parts apart from bearings but are only 15amp http://www.xtrememotorworks.com/images/Kubota%20Alternator.JPG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 My bandit 1200 has a teeny ND alt on it. Would probably handle abuse as revs up to 12000rpm on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Stay away from bike alternators if you're using it for a car with headlights etc though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentra Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah matts ebay one looks about top in the most amount of aspects, do you know if is happy without the charge lamp connected? everything below the $1000 mark or not massive 24v truck parts are seemingly going to need to have the ears chopped off and spacers made regardless. there is a 1-wire unit on trademe that otherwise seems the same dimensions but is $365 vs ?? need to work it out. In no hurry so will likely go that way. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmatt4 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 they need a charge lamp generally you can buy single wire ones too http://www.powermastermotorsports.com/denso_alternators.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 So you want to mount it on the end of the crank? Or just on a different style of mounting plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
