Oh yeah....Just got off the phone with Powermaster. That thing goes for $469.00. Yeouch! There's another guy on the net that guts real generators and rebuilds them into alternators. Calls them "genernators". I talked to him last year and I think he was saying over $800.
Man. Neither one is cheap. If I can get the 63 bracket to fit and line up using a spacer, then that's the way to go although I do like the idea of having the generator look for authenticity. Just have to pay a lot for it. :P

You might want to post this over on the Electrical forum. Some of those guys that hang out there may be able to steer you to someone that can sell you a "converted" generator or can pull off the conversion much cheaper. Just a thought.
