Alternator that will fit where the Mag goes on a Lyc.

So this is a ? for all of you guru's!
Does anyone make a Alternator that will plug into where the Mags go on a 0-360 Lyc?
Will have 2 empty holes, would like to put 1-2 alternators if possible.
Thanks

Re: Alternator that will fit where the Mag goes on a Lyc.

B&C (and maybe Plane Power) makes an alternator that bolts on to a vacuum pump drive pad, but I don't think I've ever seen one that mounts to a magneto hole. Good idea though, for those who have electronic ignitions that don't make use of those holes.

I work on a RV-6 that has dual alternators.... One of the vacuum pad units and a lightweight belt driven.... And one nightmare electrical system behind the panel.. :evil:

The "vacuum pump" alternator is all I know. I am not a guru though.
