ahh no this is a post about going without an alternator. the clutch lets you have instant "backup" electrical power. also good if you happen to let anyone else drive it :-)

that is my only problem. the clutches tend to be rather "large" ie alt running too slow. I have no idea how "small" you can get them ideally I guess would be to have a double pulley. ie weld the proper alternator pulley to the clutch pulley so it spins at the right speed.

I personally plan to just remove the belt and "install" the belt again if I really need it.

for steering better to just go with a manual rack and eliminate the PS all together.
