  Adam,
  Northcoast Technologies (Now Kelly Aerospace) has developed a rear mount 100
  amp alternator for the TSIO550 to power their electric deice system.  It is
  now certified on the Columbia 400.  I am not sure if the IO550 is similar on
  the rear of the engine or not.  I have been trying to get one for several
  months but the delay is that I have a 4 bladed MT with deice boots and they
  have only developed a slip ring for 3 bladed Hartzell props.  You may be
  able to buy the alternator kit separate without including any of the deice
  equipment.  I also know they won't sell direct to you.  Lancair Kits is the
  distributor.  You should talk with Tim Ong because I don't think parts sales
  knows about their relationship with Northcoast.
