I am with George - fix the generator.

It may be as simple as replacing the brushes. These are available and cheap. Or it may need more work - in my case I took my generator into an auto electric shop and they rebuilt it for much less than it would have been for the alternator swap in with the bracket.

I am a bit of a purist, so the look of the AC Delco alternator looks, well, like an AC Delco alternator....ugh. I love the original look of my genny and it works perfectly fine.
