[QUOTE="Pushrod Twin, post: 116783, member: 340"] 100 Greenbacks on Fleabay USA, marketed at hot rodders. Looks like ND but has no markings, made in China I suspect. I drive it direct off the back of the chain with a standard Vincent dynamo sprocket. The clutch drum is Norton Commando with the centre row of good quality hardened teeth machined off. It has 1 tooth more than the Vincent sprocket. There is a little rubber cush coupling between the sprocket & alternator The short sprocket shaft is supported by two ball races in the 1/2" 2024 T4 engine plate. It's been running 2 years & 5000 miles now. I was in the case to change clutch plates a few months ago, no sign of distress. I have no ammeter, just a red charge light. Light flickers when pushing kick starter down to feel for compressions then disappears, no flicker at idle. There is a smaller ND alternator fitted to modern Russian Urals and it is face mounted. I would like to use that one for my B motor but I'm still looking for a cheap source. [/QUOTE]
