[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 123846, member: 59"] Many decades ago Colin Jenner brought a small Kubotu alternator to a North Kent section meeting. It was different in design to any car alternator I'd ever seen in that it had one flat end that carried all connections and mounting points while the rest of it was the rotor. The whole outside cylinder of it rotated with a pulley end which looked like the visible pulley of Brian’s alternator. I couldn’t see any way of using it in a standard Vincent mounting position. I can see how it could be mounted in front the engine to be belt driven. I think Colin had Conways by that time so this may have been produced by Conways as a charging system for chopped engines.
