Just wondering if others are using this alternator instead of the Plane Power from Van's. If any are using this, what if anything did you do for the cooling fan since it is set up for clockwise rotation. Can the fan be flipped or is this a non issue?

My Vans supplied 60 A alternator failed at about 150 hours. The replacement was an Nippondenso Model 36-14684N from an auto parts store and seems to be working fine at 550 hrs. I get the impression that a suitable alternator may be found under several manufacturer/part no. combinations.

After my custom alternator failed (50 hours) in my 8A, I went to Advanced Auto. I now have 600 hours on a Mitsubishi 60 -70 amp, internal regulator, internal fan alternator.
While various makes are suitable, the one I have is from a 1990 Mazda 626, 2.2L, L4, Fuel injected. Price is $90-$100 at Advance Auto parts and other auto stores.
Two things:
<![if !supportLists]>– <![endif]>Most of these alternators come with the serpentine type belt. Take the pulley off your old alternator and put it on the new one.
<![if !supportLists]>– <![endif]>As this these alternators are internally regulated, external overvoltage protection is recommended. I have the output of the alternator going through a 70A breaker, then to an output solenoid before it ties into the battery buss. The output solenoid is on a separate breaker with a crow bar over voltage protection on it that shorts the breaker output – tripping the breaker and thus opening the solenoid on overvoltage.
On the RV-10 I’m going with the straight plane power option as the internal over voltage protection simplifies the install.
