Not always. Read through the previous posts.
In 1953 I converted the electrical system in my '36 to a '39 2 brush generator with regulator that had the fan mounted to the front of the generator.
I used that system until 1954 when I installed the built up 59AB engine with a Offie Super manifold which required a side mount generator.
I cut the 39 generator down making it into a really neat fan mount. The front bearing in a '39 gen is a ball bearing that works good for a fan mount.
