Just to confirm this... We are talking about a non-belt driven PM alternator only without a water pump, with the stator mounted directly to our existing front cover, via some sort of adapter (or a cu$tom front cover?) and the rotor would take the place of the existing pulley mounted on the e-shaft, and have the outer surface of the rotor machined as a pulley/belt drive for a main alt. (or water pump for you non-EWP types) Does this sound about right? If that's the case I'm in as long as they don't want an arm & leg for it. I'm hoping for a serpentine as I already converted my existing pulley for the alt. Now if we can get this with a high enough output to eliminate the main, then get Ernest to develop a back-up motorcycle alt for the PSRU, then I could be pulley free! Good work Todd Bartrim
