"How To....."Dynamo / Alternator Stands (November 16, 2013) There are four generator/alternator stands. Look at the last three numbers cast in: 211 is for the small-diameter generator (most 6V and late 912 12V) 211B is for the large-diameter (late 6V or 12V) generator on a singleport 211E is for a large-diameter generator on a twinport (it's clearanced slightly for the larger-diameter manifold) 211G is for alternators - it's obviously different since it's made to clear the larger-diameter business-end of an alternator. You can use a G in place of an E or B. You can use an E in place of a B. You can also clearance a B yourself to use on a twinport, but be careful to take off just enough - too much and the strap won't seat properly and it'll keep sliding out of place If you have a twinport with dual carbs it can use the B, since there's no concern about manifold clearance. No numbers cast in? Most likely it's a repro' copy of a 211G. Click here to return to the "How To....." page |
