Re: Generator Rebuild
You will still need to install it in the car and polarize it. Put it in, hook up the wires and take a jumper and just a quick touch across the cutout terminals. Should be good to go then.

Re: E brake handle not holding
Not so sure I would weld it up unless you have another to use as template for redrilling the hole. But I might consider a steel sleeve, again, position dependent on a template. If the wear is also on...

Re: Finished overheat-proofing
See, now I am wondering why you would need me to go at 45mph? Is it because at that speed the stock pump pushes way too much water through the radiator, possibly creating an over heating problem?...

Re: E brake handle not holding
Looks to me from your photo that your Ebrake lower is in serious need of rebuilding. It would appear you have about 3/16 slop in the handle/pin pivot which could cause it to not hold in the notch.
