Does anyone know of a internally regulated alternator that isn't 800$+? I found a few online that look very similar to the Plane Power/B&C setup. Seeing as a alternator isn't essential for my application if it fails I'm not going to get in trouble but would be nice to have. (It's for a Lycoming 320)
I'm not around a engine right now, but would anyone have an idea if this would fit?
Here's a link to one on eBay
