Revisiting low charging voltage from alternator that was rebuilt and upgraded to 220 amp back in 2018 . The unit is a Leece Neville  with 102200 regulator which is non adjustable , and is driven directly off blower shaft . The highest output I have seen is 13.6 V with fully charged batteries . When driving in daylight the voltage will fall back below 12.5 V , at night with all lights on it will drop below 12 and steadily loses from there , cruising at 65mph . The housing was broken when the alternator was returned after rebuild , regulator mounting was broken , rotor would not turn . Sent it back , when it arrived second time the reg mount had been replaced , housing still broken , rotor would not turn . No housings available , so I knew I was on my own , loosened through bolts , shifted stator to get rotor clearance , put a clamp around the housing to keep chips from falling off and ran it . Probably should have scrapped it at that point , but it looked like  $2K plus for a new one , or a Wilson for about $700. Early this year I sourced a used belt drive set up from ebay , just the drive , would need to get an alternator if I decide to go with this .
I am wondering if anyone out there has switched to a belt drive alternator on an 8V92 ? I think it may be the same on a 6V . My reasoning is that I believe the belt driven alternator would be more accessible .
 Hope everyone is well ,
Thanks ,
