I am gong to rewire my 51 ,3100 and also change it to an alternator. I've got a gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket and thought if this is a good harness this would be a good place to use it. I think it sells for about 140.00 Thanks. | | |

Is there a bracket on any particular old car or truck that I could pick up at the local junk yard that would work on a 235, or can one be easily bent or reformed from another bracket. Thanks | | |

I just put a 63 amp, three-wire GM type alternator on my 54 3100. I modified the stock generator brackets to work. The bottom braket was slotted to connect the two holes in it. I then used 3/8" allthread and some nuts and washers to secure the bottom mount. The top mount had to be flipped over with no other mods. Looks pretty good and feels very secure. | | |

If I recall correctly I only had to buy the harness to the head lights extra. I did this a couple of years ago. It went in pretty easy after I laid it out on the floor to get a better idea what went where. | | |
