Slabby alternators

[davecara]

How do the slabby ones differ from the Slingshot ones? I’ve got 4 sat here and none of them will fit the slabby.

I've got a slingshot alternator on my slabby 11. Works fine. Better vented too.

Did you have to change the gear on it at all? This is a 750 engine btw, dunno if they’re different

I was if the understanding the all the oil cooled ones will swap, the two main difference between them are the gears which you can swap and how the wires connect, ever wires from the alternator or wires to it.

There is a good chance I’m being a spaz here but;

I bolted up a slingy alt to my slab, and with the alt bolted up proper, the gears wouldn’t engage with each other. Almost like the nose was too short on the alt.

I’ll check it out again tomorrow

you have to find the right alt gear to match the clutch gear,  but be careful as its easy to snap a gear if they are not lined up right.

The one I took out wasn't the original one I found out on the 26tooth cunt. The one I bolted in was from an 89 k model with 28 teeth. There is a post about it here a few months old with pictures
