To my knowledge, there is no kits available for converting a type 3 to alternator. You will have to find a small alternator that has the same diameter as the type 3 generator.

I have contacted Bill and Steves and they dont offer such a kit and everyone else has kits for type ones. Will the 55 amp Bosch alternator fit in the fan housing?
Price is secondary to what may come with theYou will have to bypass the stock voltage generator, as alternators have a built-in VR.
kit. Are there any other modifications or headaches I may encounter when
