Re: 12v from 3 brush Ford generator
So I have received a 40amp diode, it's a stud mount, How much heat should I expect from this diode if we are running say 20 amps @12 volts.
Jon.

Re: Station Wagon Owners
I had to cut an angle, 30ish degrees, on the end of the boards that butt into the short edge of the hump. Just enough to get it to set flat onto the bottom of the floor. Not sure if that is what...

Re: 12v from 3 brush Ford generator
Thanks to both of you. I am looking at increasing the wattage needed, looking at 20 amp peak @12 Volts. I know an alternator would likely make a better choice, but I want the look of the Generator....

Re: 12v from 3 brush Ford generator
How many amps will an original generator put out at 12V? I have read that the 6V generator will output ~22 amps. If 22 is right then should we only expect ~10 amps out at 12V.
Do I have the...

Re: 12v from 3 brush Ford generator
Sparky, so the generator needs no modifications to run the 12V system, simply re-polarize it for negative ground?
Will the standard cutout work with 12V, either the original or the diode ones...
