Back Up Lights

I have a 1962 Notch that has no Back Up Lights/ Reverse Lights. Didn't come with them but I sure would like to put on a set and have thought of using driving lights for that purpose on the rear bumper. I don't like the looks of the ones that add to the licence plate light. But this is not the proble...

Re: Type 3 Alternator

I discovered that myself after I had posted here. I like the idea that was posted of how to put an actual VW alternator on the Notch engine. I have more or less decided to go that route here. On the Volks Wagner note though I have most of what I need for the sound system now. I have a pair of Califo...

Re: Type 3 Alternator

Saved off the plans for adapting the VW alternator. This would be good to spread around. Keeps everything looking right. On another note though I mentioned before that I'm into classic rock. That lends to the fact that for a lifetime my friends and relatives have always calledxc me a Hippy but I nev...

Re: Type 3 Alternator

It's either that or "Journey to Gotterdamerung" also by Wagner Or I could go to the old quadraphonic piece from the early seventies "Autobaun" It would also fit in with a VW. I do like your quote though about Volks Wagner. Sort of has a ring of Mad King Ludwig to it. Ludwig was the patron of Wagner ...

Re: Type 3 Alternator

Found the article that does the alternator conversion http://www.aircoolednut.com/erkson/ttt/engine/gen2alt.htm But I have also found a 75 Amp Alternator that is the same 93 MM that the seat for the Type 3 generator is. http://www.powermastermotorsports.com/105_IS_PowerGEN.pdf and it is even built t...

Re: Type 3 Alternator

Well a 120 watts RMS per side can be loud if you want it to but the only time I would do that is to play "Ride Of The Valkaries" by Vaugner while I was at a stop light having to listen to the Trans Am playing "Boom Boom Pow" by The Black Eyed Peas or something like that. But a 120 watt sound system ...

Type 3 Alternator

I know there is no room to put a VW alternator in where the type 3 generator comes out of and I seen a post someplace where a guy took his generator in to a parts place and found a Japanese Alternator that was about the same sizde. He adapted it to fit. Now a regular Alternator like this will still ...

Re: 62 notch!

I pity the chore ahead of you. I just bought a 62 Notch myself that had been parked in a field for 19 years. It's in a lot better shape than yours and is esentially just a clean up job and new paint other than a new floor. And yet I dread how much work i even have to do. I once built a 1916 Model T ...
