Driveshaft driven Alternator

Post by Zamani »

G’day,

Has any of you thought about moving the alternator to the clutch housing area? Maybe drive it using a pulley mounted to clutch yoke,.

I've thought about it.
And had similar ideas about putting the starter motor down there, too.
But it doesn't look like there's enough space down there for it, without doing some pretty nasty modifications to the body/floor.

It would be pretty cool if magnets could be embedded into the clutch flywheel and coils embedded into a custom made clutch housing and implement a motor generator in place of the starter motor and alternator.

Duk,

Do you Remember Hans Bjurman had done a transaxle 101 Giulietta with e a starter in the back. I think I should contact him. His son Hugo is racing a 75 24V and is decimating the whole field lol. Fast family,

The engine bay would be very clean if we could do that :D
