Paul, what is your opinion on the Cubota alternators?
Kubota (Koo-boata) installs a nifty little 50A alternator with internal
regulator on many of their larger estate mowers and tractors, and is
about the size of my fist (without anything occupying the palm ;-). It
is manufactured by Nippon Denso, and is basically the same one that B&C
markets with their system.
B&C removes the internal regulator and sells the linear regulator and
alternator as a package. One won't work without the other. B&C makes
bracketry to fit the Lycs and Continentals for this alternator, and is
first class and I highly recommend his units.

Yes! A LOT of air cooled aircraft engine guys are using this with
very good results. It is tiny and will fit in an RV4 cowl no
problem. Really great if you want to run two alternators for
back up.
