Maybe there are cheaper rebuild alternatives to go from 6 - 12V Phil
Gday Phil, here is the EH genny....could even be FE FC, FB, EK, EJ, dunno, they are all alike, just the one I have in car ATM does not have the cutout sections at brushes, not that that matters.
I will have to look, maybe one is Lucas and the other Bosch.





Took a bit of hunting at swap meets to find a wide pulley as all holdens have narrow ones.
Dunno what the pulley is off but it fits and I found 2, This second genny will go on my bus.



As can be seen, my engine is open , so a modern alternator would just not do.
