alternator drive
 

On the later model 1968 and 1969 0-2A's Cessna installed a belt driven alternator on the rear engine. On these aircraft we have not had any alternator problems. I have most of the parts if anyone is interested.

Belt Drive Alternator
 

The one big problem with that is the drive pulley bolts to the flange on the prop hub. That doesn't give you a place to bolt the spinner bulhead. According to the type certificate, A6CE, the rear spinner is required equipment.

Alternator re-location
 

I have a 337 form some where around here that was done where we put a 100 amp alternator on the fwd engine... we went to the junk yard and got a accessory drive unit that came off a 470 or 520 that had the belt drive pully and gear on it... its the same one that they use on the 360 to... so it went right back in... it adds a gear to the box and we had to relocate the vacuum pump to the other side... like it is now... on the later ones.. but, it all went in and then we took the regular 38 amp alternator out and plated over the hole that it had down on the bottom... with a 1/4 inch plate... for the cost it is much better... setup than using the belt drive off the front of the crank... Let me see If I can run the picture and parts listing down...
