75 amp alternator
Does anyony know where to get a 75 or better alternator for a t-3. I believe dss had a small 50amp. But don't know what it came off of. Has anyone has used one from a honda,toyota,ect. That is the right size maybe with a little modification to housing.

Toby told me too many years ago to remember where he got the 40amp, but I have no idea where they get that 70amp variation today.

Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.

IIRC the 40-50A alts were originally for a Dihautsu (-10 spelling) or Toyota forkift. (It wouldn't surprise me to see a 70A version these days)
There is a "sure" way of fitting a 35, 70 or even 100+A alt, but it involves installing a T4 motor
One possible option on a T3 motor would be to run an external alt where the AC would have gone and a second electrical system for "high draw" accessories.
Alternators do not care which way they spin... (at least ones with new bearings) and knowing that makes a few more locations possible.

Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

My original 40A alternator is from a forklift. Nippendenso brand alternator. More here: http://www.aircoolednut.com/erkson/ttt/ ... tml#custom
I still have the same alternator and it's still working great!
