The Volt Tech Big Twin 12 Volt Alternator Kit, SKU 32-1873, replaces 1936–1957 three-brush and 1958–1969 two-brush generators. It features the original 32E alternator shape and includes a chrome end cover. The unit produces 3 amps at 750 RPM, 5 amps at 1,000 RPM, 7.8 amps at 2,000 RPM, 8.5 amps at 3,000 RPM, and 8.9 amps at 4,000 RPM.
This kit fits 1941–1950 Harley-Davidson FL models. It can also be installed on 1958–1969 FL and 1958–1985 XL models using 5/16-inch mounting screws. The finned regulator must be relocated from the original relay position on the right side of the cam cover. Pre-1958 FL and G models may require the mounting holes to be enlarged to 5/16 inch for the larger screws.
Mount bolts and mount screws are required separately. The mounting flange holes accept 1/4-inch-24 or 5/16-inch-24 mounting screws, and the generator or alternator body is drilled for 1/4-inch-24 and 5/16-inch-24 mounting. The 32E alternator kit does not use a strap, although a generator strap and shim kit can be used with 1/4-inch-24 screws for an original-style appearance. Suggested for use with the #42-0438 Black Generator 3-Brush End Cover.
