REFLECTOR: Franklin Alternator

[Michael Watson]

Thanks John,

I got an 70 amp Mitsubishi alternator out of a late model Honda, it fits
perfectly but it's 4 lbs
heaver than the one have. My CG is too far aft as it is, I hate to add more
weight back there.
Was looking for a lighter alternative.

BTW: a couple of years ago, I remember you made a post asking if you reduced
the space between the top of your arm pit scoop and the wing from 1 inch to
1/2
inch, if it would pump more air into the plenum.

Did you reduce the area and did it reduce your CHT's ???
