Joseph,
Basically I fully agree with Jaems to keep a generator for the same reasons. Nevertheless it would be a challenge to realize an affordable alternator based charging system.
Our 912 engines are based on the VW beetle type I engine. I know that many beetle drivers upgraded their early type engines with alternators from the mid seventies engine. If I remember well, it was just a bold on conversion, even without changing the generator stand.
I realize that there are some differences in measures between the 912 and Beetle engine, but I think it makes sense to find out if a late Beetle (Bosch) alternator kan be adapted to the 912 engine. Some machining might be necessary, but I think it can be done. If you have access to a Beetle or a local Beetle club, it/they could be helpfull.
Just an idea ...
Otto
