I have a Nippon-Denso 27029-61011, works well except that the charge light no longer works.  Fits very neatly in the generator space, still running the wide belt.

Bit of a non-sequitur there; LED headlamps actually draw less power than conventional headlamps.  The ones I'm using only draw 20
watts on low beam, compared to 55 with the previous halogen lamps.

Sorry, I have no recommendation on model.  My previous conversion was with an old externally regulated Ford alternator; and while
overall it was a very positive move, the alternator was a bit big for the space available on a TR3A.  If there is a next time, I
plan to go with one of the smaller "mini" alternators from Japan.

Thanks, Bill.... and to all who responded to this question. I believe the
"candidate" alternators include a Bosch (I think the model number for that
is AL77X) the AC Delco (10 SI). I don't see Bill's Nippondenso model
listed...  Additional mods include gutting the voltage regulator, some
accommodation/modifications of the ammeter and steps to maintain the
functionality of the warning light.

I tried going to the Tucson Alternator website
(http://www.tucsonalternator.com/PartDetails.aspx?IDNum=43217) but haven't
figured out how to actually buy anything after adding it to the cart!
Strange.... I guess calling them is the only way...

Also, I'm not sure if any info I've received concerning upgrading a TR6's
alternator can also apply to that of the TR3, but that, too, would be good
to know.

Again, my thanks to all.

BTW - These guys (TAE) are excellent.  I have had them do both alternators
and starters with great results.
