that is certainly a lot of Amps! good find, not exactly the cheapest unit in the world though!
Good Question, I did look at that option for a long time. Problem I was seeing is that if i mounted it to the chassis, I've got to allow for movement between the cover and the belt drive, so I couldn't have a close fitting cover, so to get the same protection I'd have ended up with a massive cover, and then i was running into also sorts of clearance issues with the fuel tank, exhaust and strut.Why didn't you attach the alternator protective cover to the chassis instead of the alternator/engine block
As you say there is always the risk of shattering the alt. housing, but the cover is very light, and the lip buts up against the alternator and block, so its not bouncing around on the studs, I think that risk is fairly low.
