in their partial defence, the under taking would require finding a gen-set that matched up to the shaft, was an outer diameter and depth suitable to the rest of the engine and that one could machine out the needed cover with internal coil supports etc.
no slight task, and even with the proper pieces supplied would require a considerable amount of a very talented persons time.
what was actually being said without demeaning or insulting you was that given what they knew about the process it would be very cost prohibitive.
i am interested in these motors and esp. WITH the generating system so i have started to canvas my contacts to see if we can get the gen-sets, covers and related parts over here.
this shouldn't be that much trouble. these parts are not engines nor have any relationship to causing any applicable engine to meet or fail any compliance issues so it seems unlikely that they fall under any regulatory prohibition at export or entry.
i buy high output upgrade charging systems from England for motorcycles regularly for instance. belonging to several global model specific owners asociations has some advantages of relationship and co-operation.
i'll post any leads that come up.
