Some time in the past I used the Diehl case. It is a good product and
provided the answer for several problems, the biggest of which was the starter
that could not turn the bigger engines. I like a lot of electrics and did not
like the limited amps. I mainly used a Volks Power case (out of production)
and recently modified it to use the same starter as the Diehl case. I looked
at the Diehl case trying to determine if it could be modified to accept a belt
drive and slot to run a normal automotive alternator. I determined that it
could be done, but required too much work. A different flywheel would be
needed and the offset for the starter would have to be changed. You would
have to get some one to make a combination mag drive and V pulley to fit in the
mag drive hole. You would have to cut the case for a belt to pass outside and
last but not easy you would have to have an area of the back of the case
stiffened to be able to mount the alternator to. Perhaps any one interested
in such a case could call Dan and investigate his willingness to develop a new
product. You never know.
