Generator question

[sully199]

afternoon,

is is anyone aware if a 400 amp generator, will fit into the 200 amp generator mounting bracket?

Thank you,

No, but I have a 400 amp bracket, long bolt, and rear support for that 400.

Those 400's take a bracket that looks identical to a 200amp...I have a bracket as well I would sell, as it won't fit anything I will ever install. That thing is effin huge...and takes up all the room on the left side of the engine....good luck changing a fuel filter. We have them in the HMMWV's at the base...they are so heavy they have a lifting ring on them to install via overhead hoist.
i would also caution using one unless you have items that will need that kinda of output....years back I know trucks had issues frying stuff in the truck with 200's that were just basic trucks....overcharging was another issue.

I have modified a 100 amp generator to fit the 400 amp bracket. So far no problems... Drill out the holes for the 400 amp bolt and add a spacer between rear lobe and bracket.

New bracket , bolt and rear stiffener

I think I will look at the 100 or 200 amp, thanks for the input.
