The 300 Watt Ariel Square Four Alternator conversion

It’s an age old problem for the enthusiastic Ariel Square Four owner. The lights go on and the original dynamo struggles to keep the battery charged. As the battery discharges the ignition system struggles to generate a healthy spark and the engine starts to misfire.

Ariel Square Four 300 Alternator

Based on quality Nippon Denso internals this conversion replaces the original dynamo with no modifications to original engine casings. Fitting can be accomplished in a morning and the built in regulator and rectifier make wiring an easy task.

Proven worldwide to be ultra reliable and in the words of one discerning German customer “Plug & Play” This is the must have modification for the Ariel Square Four. It will transform the riding experience.

Lower kick in speeds mean the alternator will balance the charge of the ignition system and modern 12v headlamp bulb at around 25mph*

* Depends on exact primary and final drive gearing.

Precision CNC components hand assembled and tested

The Ariel Square Four alternators are produced in small batches. The re-cycled components from the donor Nippon Denso alternators are cleaned and checked both mechanically and electrically.

All the components used in the conversion are precision items produced using CNC facilities. Final hand assembly and testing take place in our workshops.

A custom built test rig runs each alternator under load so that we can confirm correct output and regulation. Before dispatch each unit is allocated a serial number and details are recorded to ensure trace-ability in the event of future service being required.
