Researching alternators. Interested in having an emergency backup bus with backup battery, and an additional backup alternator on the engine. Already reviewed the Nuckolls drawings.
The firewall forward kit comes with the 60A plane power alternator. Easy enough. But.... all the rest after that is ours to figure out. So....
Which B&C alternator is a direct bolt-on replacement to the Plane Power one?
If I tell Vans to remove the PP alternator from the firewall-fwd kit what else do I tell them to remove? What else to get from B&C instead?
Which style of alternator mounting does the IO-390 have (boss or case-bolt-on)?
Which B&C vacuum pad alternator is best for a backup? (with SB1B controller)
Will a vacuum pad alternator interfere with anything else under cowl?
Where do most people mount the SB1B controller, or the regulator for the primary alternator for that matter?
My goal is to have an IFR platform that is flyable with an alternator failure, or battery failure for a considerable time.
