[QUOTE="vinito, post: 96380, member: 12954"] Thanks Tazza. Get your order together, hehe. I was hoping this alternator had straight fins, maybe just offset a bit or something. But they are pretty tight little curved volutes, so it's probably pretty inefficient spinning backward. You might be right that the load may not ever be enough to cause it to overheat, but I guess until it's tested that will continue to be unknown. Once I install enough things so I can place the motor and see what else I may need to do to align stuff, it will be difficult to know whether or not I can flip the alternator around or not. I'm just going to have to tread water until I get the drive in. That is going to take several days since I have a bunch of things on the list this week taking up my otherwise project time. It's a good thing I didn't need this machine working in a hurry, eh? [/QUOTE]
