Roland and Lannie,
Heaven help us! Use a Tiger II forged alternator bracket with a
Ford alternator and a seperate old style Ford mechnical relay regulator!
Go with " TIGER stuff".

Well Jim, where can I get one of those? My local Tiger dealer closed
down some time
ago!

I too want to upgrade to an alternator. CAT sells a bracket, but its
been out of stock for
some time.. Normal Ford ones don't allow for the TIger "short" pulleys
(Roland)...
Anybody know what to do? I think some kind of small Japanese alternator
with
reliable internal regulator would do nicely.

There are single wire alternators made for Ford if you want to keep
that Tiger all Ford, but the brackets would still need to be
fabbed/modified. Jay
