Look at the shaft protruding from the rear of the generator... for a FAN. Seems that someone got the Ford pulley to fit a VW generator... and to work right it takes a VW regulator. Arm, Field, and Batt are all there easy -peezy. What do you think of this fellows???
That’s “Hot Rod Engineering” right there!!!!.....what you have on hand is what you have to make work....I like it!!!.....although I would find something that fits to be able to carry a spare....not sure how long the bearings will last with the fan....nice car!!!....Mark
