Alternators, Generators & Pulleys
Alternators, Generators & Pulleys for VW Beetle & Type 1 Engines
No power means no ignition—and no belt means no cooling! In your air-cooled VW, the generator/alternator serves a dual purpose: charging the battery and driving the fan for engine cooling. At aircooledshop.com, we offer premium components to keep your charging system and cooling fan running perfectly.
Generators & Alternators: Stay Charged
- DC Generators: The classic slim design for original restorations (available in 6V and 12V).
- AC Alternators: Modern efficiency with integrated regulators. Recommended for cars with higher electrical demands like sound systems or extra lighting.
- Conversion Kits: Everything you need to upgrade from 6V to 12V or from an old generator to a high-output alternator.
Pulleys & V-Belts
- Pulleys: From OEM-style steel pulleys to high-precision billet aluminum pulleys with laser-etched timing marks for accurate ignition tuning.
- V-Belts: Premium quality belts (e.g., Continental or Optibelt) designed to resist stretching and slipping, even at high RPMs.
- Hardware: Shims for adjusting belt tension and custom chrome nuts for that extra engine bay shine.
