Re: Generator mount
Easiest way to attach something to the heads are using 3 coupling nuts and then bolt a bracket to them....no need to change to longer studs.
When it comes to looks...maybe not the slickest way of doing it.... |

Re: Generator mount
I keep thinking about this. I searched the internet for photos and came up with this photo of a vintage setup on a flathead.
Which got me to thinking you don't need to use a flathead Ford style generator mount. You could use a 12V 1957 Ford Y-block generator that pivots. 1957 was the first year for 12V. You might even be able to use the '57 mount and drill two holes in it to mount it to the head bolts. If that won't lineup you could weld it to an homemade adaptor that bolts to the head. Then you would also need a slotted adjustment bracket bolted to the front of the motor. I think it would look nice. Especially if you did the generator up with its original decals. They make a power master generator/alternator for the '57 Ford that look pretty good. |
