Default Re: Alternator setup on Predator 670

Here is what I came up with....

Bracket is made from 1/4 steel plate that I cut out. I grabbed the dimensions for the bolt pattern on the crankcase from one of the service manuals...and just prototyped out the rest on cardboard. Once I was happy with the results i cut it out of the steel plate.

The pulley I found on the internet (https://phoenix-mfg.com/V-Groove-Dri...el_p_1564.html). I had to machine down the center hub so that it would just mate up with my clutch and not stick out. 1" bore and 1/4" keyway...exact fit for the 670 drive shaft.

The alternator is a knock-off Denso Mini i picked up from Amazon. It's a 35 amp version...but there are lots to choose from.

Anyway...I hope this gives you some ideas on what's possible.

Good Luck

Smokey


thats a nice setup, i was just didn't wanna buy the vegas carts pulley and it not fit with the cvtech since it was designed for the 780r. fab'n up a bracket shouldn't be to hard
