Search Ebay for 'suzuki samuri alternator' & you'll find dozens, if
you're not in a big hurry. Late '80s to early '90s models. There are 7
on there right now.

A favorite of RV builders.

Be aware that with the one-wire alternators, there's typically no way to
shut them down if the internal regulator fails. If you don't have
over-voltage protection, you can cook your avionics.

I'm not telling you not to use it (I'm flying a similar model); just be
aware of the issues.

Lots of discussion on RV-x forums and on the aeroelectric list.

It's actually an email list; use the link above to sign up. There's also
an archive search engine for the list available at Matronics.com.
