Product details

This kit provides a black 55-amp internally regulated alternator with the support and drive parts for an upright VW installation. The alternator is built from new components rather than rebuilt parts. It replaces a 12V generator setup or serves as one part of a planned 12V conversion.

Technical Details

  • Part number: 00-9486-0
  • Output rating: 55 amps
  • Regulation: Internal
  • Finish: Black
  • Included: Alternator, stand, three-piece backing plate set, pulley, strap and belt
  • Required ground: Minimum 10-gauge wire from alternator body to stand studs on engine case

Fitment & Compatibility

Check the engine's fan, intake and fuel pump clearance, belt alignment, and electrical setup before conversion. Follow the grounding requirement and check the charging-circuit wiring for the alternator's output. Converting a 6V vehicle means checking the rest of the electrical system separately.
