I have a C and two Super C's, which I use regularly. It used to be that between the three of them I would replace one generator one starter and one regulator every year, not to mention battery troubles, dim lighhts and poor starting in cold weather. I have had 6 volt alternators on two of them for over ten years now, and the third has been demoted to magneto and crank start. I have had only one repair over the years, and that was because water got into one of the alternators and corroded some connections. I bought the alternators from my local auto electric shop, and at the time they were cheaper than replacing a voltage regulator for the generator setup. A friend of mine made a guard for the alternator because the way I mounted it it stuck out beyond the hood, looked like it would catch things in the pulley. The electic shop offered one with an extended shaft that would have tucked in closer to the block, but it was another $40 that I didn't have at the time. I have them set up like Hugh says, with a pushbutton to energise them.
