Yes, but be aware,Leece-Neville does make alternators which by looks and fit, seems exactly the same, but it weighs 1/2 as much

Basically, it's a car alternator. It's not made to produce high amps for long periods.

I bought one, it's my emergency spare, as it's footprint and connections are the same. But if I ever have to use it, I would have to run the gen to keep the batteries up and stop the alternator from destroying itself.
