I mentioned this a while back, and didn't get around to anything about it yet anyways. But a 2nd small alternator running off the redrive be nice for redundancy.

Subject: [FlyRotary] alternator choice?

Greetings,
 
Another thing I need for the cowl beautification project is a smaller alternator.  My current alternator is a stock FD 100 amp unit, with an aftermarket double pulley.  It's big, and heavy, and provides way more current than I need now that I don't have electric fans, or an electric water pump.
 
What seems to be the best choice these days for small alternators?  It would need to have an available double V belt pulley, and provide at least 30 amps. Tracy mentioned a small Ford unit, but I neglected to ask for details.  Which one would that be Tracy?     
 
Thanks,
Rusty
