Unless you are regularly burning the alternators out, a larger unit by itself will not solve your problems. The one area that does need improvement is the size of the wiring from the alternator to the battery, and then to the fuse box. Dennis

Jetson Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 8:43 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Big Alternators Hi all, Hey, I know I have heard mention of 110 or 120 amp Alternators on the list. Stock ones are 90 amp. Who knows anything about the bigger ones & where do you get them. Make & model would be helpful. I'm wanting to upgrade for an auxilary battery set up that keeps running into problems. Thanks, ===== David Kelly 1990 Syncro Vanagolf 15" 1963 Comet Convertible 1976 CB550 Super Sport Seattle __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
