All,
Been down that road before. The Bosch alternator referenced is not for the
US Fiesta but for the European Fiesta which is a different auto than the US
version. Even if you could find one in the US the price is high and
replacement in western Nowheresville will be a challenge. Go with the GM
alternator and knock off the tab and the pulleys should align. Easy enough
to find a hacksaw and a GM alternator in an emergency. I used 2 standard
brackets bolted together and the stock fan belt fits nicely. You need about
12" of bracket with an angle or arch. You can also align the case so the
electrical connections are where you like. Use the GM pigtail, solder the
connections and use heat shrink.
