Mike CA said: (quoted from post at 19:19:53 07/09/09) I haven't got my VR yet, and reading yet more complaints about VR's, I'm wishing that alternators could be fit into a generator body somehow, for an original look.

Well, Mike, I never would have imagined but, apparently from what others have posted, they are available. That's what I call "thinking out of the box" on your part. Please, don't get upset - that was meant as a compliment, not a criticism - of the "navy guy".
As expensive as they are (alternator in a gen body), you might want to reconsider the generator set-up. Personally, I am neither an alternator nor a generator strong advocate; I have had both - and both have worked for me.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
