Dunno, but I once had my alternator rebuilt because of an "internal short".
They must be the single-most unreliable Lucas component. I had a rectifier
fail on one that was under warranty, and then the brushes, followed by a
bearing, after the warranty ran out. If it fails again, I'll get my
autoelectrician (who, BTW, is putting a 3.5-litre into his TR6) to find a GM
or Bosch unit that fits!
