Scott,
The positive side is that in the end, the X/Frontier owner can choose whatever alternator they want. If you want a Premier Welder, you can have it, if you want a Mean Green, the options are open, etc, etc. The two hardest parts of the kit will be machining the pulley and finding the company who can manufacture an adapter connector for the factory harness. Since I have a machinist lined up for the pulley and a contact for the connector, I think I just may be able to make this work. It really doesn't matter to me whether some choose to go another route, this is America. I just want to know if there is potential here for me to actually make this work. So far it's starting to look pretty good. The people who will be building the brackets and the pulley for me are excited to get a shot to get in the door in the Nissan market, so that in itself is a big positive sign for Nissan owners. They realize there is a hard core contingent out there and want a piece of the pie. Considering their mainstay is Jeeps, that is a good thing in my book.
