Agreed with Gary, Get a S/S clamp for the genny they're only about 8 bucks and
work and look waaaaaay better than the chrome ones. Spend a few extra $$ on a
AL dizzy clamp if you gotta have something shiney there too. I think the chrome
coil covers look like chrome covers. I mean they usually are longer than the
coil itself don't always fit too good and easily rust. Again maybe a nice
billet clamp (or maybe even the chrome one). And how about painting the coil to
your liking? The gennie covers fit terribly too, I had to do some major mods
to get one to fit somewhat decent, not much you can do there for alternatives
so just be ready for a fun time fitting it. Another downside to the cover is
unless you do some cutting, you can't fit the plastic dust cover on the gennie.
Thats an important piece on an exposed motor.
On the stands, the upside is it it will fit both gennies and alternators if
you want to switch over later. I would just make sure that the mating surface
to case is as true as it can be. They are just the standard aftermarket
castings (they're not as good as og for fit sometimes but they work) chromed.
