LHD Alternator Bracket

@terryp

as I think I could make the dynamo bracket work with a length of threaded rod?

Terry,

Had you seen this wrt threaded rod? I assume so:

Elan Alternator Conversion

The Elan came equipped with a Lucas DC generator and regulator. This system is adequate and essentially reliable, and is simple and “user-friendly” to work on. These positive thoughts about the generator set-up beg the question; why convert? Simply, an alternator can do a better job of keeping the battery charged. I imagine that most conversions occur as a result of failure of the existing system. I have done this conversion twice, and it was failure that prompted me both times. SELECTION OF AL…

It refers to a Pinto bracket and threaded rod but it isn’t clear if the required clearance could have been achieved with a Lucas unit or not…maybe it was just a case of Lucas bashing that lead to a “Chevy” unit.

BTW: This RS2000 bracket appeared on ebay recently…I assume it’s “Pintoesque”
