12 Volt generator with an original Pulley and fan!!
Hi all; this set up is on the cpe I just bought and it puzzled everyone. A 'Modern' Aluminum case generator with the original flathead Generator pulley and fan? Works great and looks right in a custom mount, uses the correct flathead single belt even. Can you figure it out from the photo?? Hint- it's German!! Look at the shaft protruding from the rear of the generator... for a FAN. Seems that someone got the Ford pulley to fit a VW generator... and to work right it takes a VW regulator. Arm, Field, and Batt are all there easy -peezy. What do you think of this fellows???

Re: 12 Volt generator with an original Pulley and fan!!
Personally I would buy the Powermaster alternator. Why stay with a generator that isn't correct? IMO the Powermaster looks more correct and is more pleasing to the eye.
I don't love the placement of the VW wires, hate the angle iron, and I would have painted the unit black immediately. Sorry if it sounds like I'm ripping on it. You gotta do what you gotta do. Hell, I just put a Chinese aluminum radiator in my bone stock '51 Mercury. (I did paint it low gloss black though). |

The vw has a fan in one end and a pulley in the other original so should have a fair chance to survive from the fan load...
Downside is they are only 30A...less then if you use the later ford generators. |
