VAPE /5, /6 105mm Alternator Set

The VAPE (pronounced VaahPeh) is a top quality, European product that will “modernize” the electrical systems on your classic BMW, providing improved reliability, performance as well as passive and active safety. This set will replace the entire charging system with reliable, modern components.

The set consists of a complete system including Rotor, Stator, Regulator, and other hardware, completely replacing the stock 12V alternator (including diode plate and regulator). Additionally, there is no need for changes to the engine casing. This D/C system will run head lights, tail lights, turn signals and charge the battery. It is a magnet based alternator with integrated solid state ignition; output at 12V/190W DC. The alternator is brushless, so there are no parts to wear out, making this system maintenance free.

Included

Pre-assembled Stator Unit
Flywheel (rotor)

Rotor bolts M8 with washer
Three M5 screws

¹The diameter of the original alternator stator was changed from 105mm to 107mm in 09/75. If you are unsure which version you have, we suggest removing the alternator stator and carefully measuring the diameter across the part of the stator that makes contact with and is fitted to the timing cover.
