[C320-list] Alternator

[David Gleason]

Don:

Several years ago I changed from the stock 35 amp alternator on the
Perkins to a Balmar 75 amp.  It was not a direct bolt on change.  I had
to have a custom bracket made to attach the new alternator. 
Unfortunately I am out of state until May and do not have the information
available.  The person who had the bracket made advised he would send the
specifications to Balmar.  I suggest you contact Balmar direct to see if
they have the specifications available.  They were submitted by Ken
Anderson of IMI (I think).  I believe the IMI stood for Integrated Marine
Instruments.
