I'd like an alternator, too, just for the extra amps.

That said, the gen keeps up with the headlight, two spots, and an
electric vest on my Eldo, so I don't know why I would bother.

Some time ago there was a discussion about upgrading the generator
on an Ambo to a nice little alternator off a Japanese car. There
was even fairly detailed instructions given in a web page, which I
saved a local copy of.

The sticky bit is the lathe work. Access to a lathe is, for me,
only a little less difficult than access to a fissionable
materials. (And I don't work in a power plant - I'm a computer
programmer.)

So the punchline:

Does anybody make, or would they like to make, a bolt-on kit
for the alternator upgrade? I understand that I'd be paying
for convenience, so it would cost some $$$.

What prompted this: I bought an electric vest (and just in time
for spring, too!) and am worried that the stock electrical
system may be, ummm, marginal for this application.
