Try posting to the VariEze list... I think it's Canard Aviators. Several of those guys use just exactly what you are looking for... Good Luck, Weav ----- Original Message ----- From: Kayberg@aol.com To: tailwind-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2005 12:14 PM Subject: Tailwind-List: C-90 alternator I have a C-90-14F that I would like to mount a small alternator on, driving it with a belt pulley on the prop hub/spinner. I just dont want to spend a ton of money for the B & C version that mounts where the old generator did on the rear of the engine. Anyone know of a design to do this? I am thinking of the Kuboda/John Deere alternator, but perhaps there is a better idea.

It has to have a hub as big or bigger than the crankshaft flange, then drill it to fit over the prop lugs. This was on Russ Hasenbalgs C-90 Tailwind, it worked great until he crashed it. The pulley was bolted between the prop flange and extension. I can ask him tomorrow if he remembers more about it. You might try calling him. 608 356 6445 Jim C ----- Original Message ----- From: Kayberg@aol.com To: tailwind-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2005 2:14 PM Subject: Tailwind-List: C-90 alternator I have a C-90-14F that I would like to mount a small alternator on, driving it with a belt pulley on the prop hub/spinner.

I noticed the front cylinders are together in one pipe and the rear cylinders are together in the other pipe. I was just wandering if the setup you have is cosmetic, and it looks great I might add, or does it have something to do with ram tuning or firing order?

This pic shows a solid steel link from the hanger. It has since been changed to a rubber belting one. The tailpipes should be hung off the engine, not the engine mount.

It will work with both sets of two going out left and right sides. The reason I run both out the same side is it gives more heat for the cabin heater and keeps heat away from the gascolator which is on the left side.
