While we are on the alternator issue, I was speaking to a friend a few
weeks ago who said that he has found that a Geo Metro Alternator is
super small, super light and super efficient in its output. The fact
that it is made by the Japanese company that provides all the
alternators for Honda and others, makes me think that it is also highly
reliable.
Might be a good possibility for someone interested in doing some
research.

Subject: Re: Red engine bay! was GM Alternator Mounting Problems
Hi Mitchel
I just had a look at the pictures of the GM alternator installation, I
have
used large units from UK Spec fords and never had a problem, I have a 90
amp
fitted to my PI Saloon. I now see why there is cutting involved, the
mountings are quite different!
I also feel the need to say boy what a red engine bay you have, red
wires
fan and detail on the rocker cover. all the same a beautiful example of
what
I wish my engine bay looked like. One is just a daily driven car with an
engine bay to match and the other is a stunning looking car but the
engine
bay was treated to Ziebart when new, and although I will not remove it I
would not have had it there from choice! :-(
