Bigger Alternator.

--- Quote from: "mmgemini" ---Most alternators are interchangeable.
If the lugs are in the wrong place, just undo the three bolts that hold the alternator body together and twist the front one way and the back the other to line the lugs up.

thats only lucas isnt it, the bosch ones cant be rotated to alter from left hand to right hand

best bet is going down local scrappy and seing whats around

Ive already got a 120 Amp alternator from a v8 on my 200tdi.. went in with only a little bit of modification...

extreme90:
what needed to be done ?, have a miller and lathe to play with  :roll:

Xtremeteam:
its a big fat V belt,

need to slacken belt & take of old alt, fit new one & tighten belts

unknownmanxman:
Well, the braket that the alternator sits on had to come off and i drilled it right through and put one long bolt through both the back and the front mount of the alternator..

The reason i did that was because for some reason the alternator sheered the front mounting bolt.

The only thing with this alternator is that you have to have the V belt really really tight cos it will tend to try and slip with high loads...

A poly V belt would be better to run this alternator.. but mine works ok
