Mike,
I have an NOS GPW generator to compare to and believe your observations
to be correct except that the pulley casting was painted black also. The
paint appears to be semi-gloss more to the gloss side. The data plates
{decals) available are not correct. The spelling is right, the info is
right, but size and typeface or character are wrong. This is an issue
that has irratated me for sometime, so much so that I am working on
reproducing the correct data plates for the GPW generators, starters,
and filterettes. Will advise when available. Scot
