I was wondering if there was a kit on the market to convert to an altenater and electric fan. I would prefer in the future to not have to tear down the intake to replace the generator again.

There is no 12v electric fan small enough to produce the airflow that the stock fan produces. You are better off stock. Convert to alt is easy. Alt/alt stand/fuel pump/proper carb accel linkage/alt reg if not using integral reg.

The alternators used in the conversion kits are single wire, internally regulated alternators. If you go with the generator you need to use the VW specific regulator.

Engine wiring is pretty straight forward. Lets see what I can do from memory. If I missed something I am sure it will be added.
1. keyed power to + on coil.
2. Wire from alternator warning light to small tab on alternator
3. Oil pressure sending unit wire to dash light
4. Wire from alternator main lug to large lug on starter (or directly to battery)
5. Wire from distributor points to - terminal on coil (if electronic ignition then black wire to - tab and red wire to + tab)
6. If stock carb then keyed power to choke coil and to idle solenoid.
7. Wire from + coil tab to reverse light switch

Now if you have extra gauges like oil pressure, cylinder head temp, oil temp then there may be additional wires.

Stock VW wiring diagrams can be found here:

Although your Bradley may not be wired like a stock VW. I believe that the Bradley diagram is also available somewhere (Jeff Troy CD?)

Thanks again. What im attempting to do is have the jus the motor wired where it will run properly. The wiring inside the car is a rats nest and where the gages are looks like the material is barely better than cardboard. If i can i want to run a fuseable hot wire to a fuse box and do my own wiring. Im in machine shop in college so im gonna make a better support and replace all the gages.

Im wanting to take the body off now and i have no idea where to start. Thanks eveybody for all the help im sorry this is new to me im used to working on early 90s imports. I finally got an alternator on the way jus tryin to get things right the first time.:-)

Im looking for a set of these gages they are vdo mine work but i want to change the amp gage to a voltometer and get two temp gages one for engine and another for trans temp does anybody know where i might aquire these

Thanks i also wanted to know if anybody knew what the closest production windshield that i could fit with the least amount of body work or glass cutting

It is plastic and shelf paper. A pitty.

I made my own from aluminum, then made a brush finish with acrylic clear to keep it looking good.

Here is is:

Here we go again with censorship. Can someone remind me what a thingypit is?

That's Me, sorry

Thanks, was having a episode of craft.

Thank you, Jeff. It looks better with the center console which I might put in one day.

Whisky,

This is absolutely a manner friendly site. If you read my post, the reference was no more than common language.

The "co ck"pit is where you sit in an airplane, and according to whom you are speaking, myself included, most exotic sports or race cars.

"Interior" is better used for the inside of a Beetle, a Chevy Biscayne or my minivan.

Warmest...

Here is the rear end. When running, it looks like a turbine. I did a few checks regarding air tempurature, I had probes under ouside and at the fan intakes (t1 & t3) air was 2 deg cooler with this setup. Of course a GTII would keep the tail covered.
