Sorry about that, not sure of brand, think it might have been from an original as there is no bosh branding. needed to fit a type 1 upright engine.

thanks

all You need to do, is cut off the front section of the generator pulley...
up to the casting...
thats the only difference...
as far as i could see...

an alternator stand will fit an alternator and generator..

You just need to cut the front [looking at the engine]
piece that protrudes...
as the alternator is thicker at the front...

although I suppose it needs to fit correctly
so maybe getting one is a better idea....
