alternator question

[fordtrckman1977]

I have a 1951 continental 0-470-11a it is supposed to have a gear driven alternator/generator on the front of the case. Would anyone know where to get one of these? I will buy a core and rebuild it if I have to. THANKS

probly be cheaper to just convert over to an automotive alt, give dick waters over @ airtec a call, he's in mims.

You can try Dave's Airparts.

They are extremely pricey ($700.00) but the piece of mind is why I put one on my 0540.

No belts, bolts or brackets to break off & go through the prop.

Sure, you can go down to the auto parts store & pick one up for 50 bucks but again for me, it's a piece of mind thing.

One more thing, the gear driven alt is manufactured to av-specs & about bulletproof.

I have yet to talk with anyone who has had to replace it.
