If you can get them where you are, Ford Fiesta alternators should be fine,
lackin gthese, you could try a Mini alternator best take your old one in to
check, I did replace mine (on a 74 though) with the bosch equivalent but
that was more due to the lack of a lucas one as I usually have no probs with
lucas alternators.
