Alternators!

[lmrdave]

It's a right nightmare at the moment, spent about 40minutes in a motor factors trying to find one that fits, the replacement it lists for mine have single vee's, and some list multi vee but only in 60amp, while mine was 70amp.

I will have another go tonight, I have found one that ticks all the boxes but thats £200!

Umpkin where did you get you mk2 one from and how much was it??

i got it off the side of and engine i got from a scrappy :P that is now in my car, although my engine is a mk1 it had the polly v pullies on it, but when i did the swap i was in a hurry so i changed the polly for a single rather than the rest to polly

I've got a selection of alternators at my workshop but haven't a clue what they are for.

I'll check part numbers and see if I have one that you need if you like?

Got one ordered now as I was sick of the Silvia just sat there . . . . but they've rung back and told me it's going to take 10-14days as it's coming from Denmark

Off to bag up some axle stands and a jack and strip the suspension down, rebuild the fronts and get the new springs on, then it isn't a total waste of time.
