Suitable alternator?

[jasongray5]

G'day chaps
Are we all well?

Will soon be time to start thinking about a dark art call auto-electrickery

So my question to you folks is, do you reckon this fiat alternator would be any good. Its a denso unit, which is good (apparently)

All thoughts welcomeLinky

[HandyAndy]

i,m dreading the electrickery stuff

Not bad mate either, wee bit pished

The old un is too big and controlled by the ecu, so im told...?

Not dreading the electrics as its all nice and logical (most of the time!!!) Oh and i got a B in GCSE electronics a couple of years ago..?

[HandyAndy]

electronics wasn,t invented when i was at school

thought you might be a bit sozzled

i,ve read elsewhere that those denso units are popular fitments on zetecs, but other than that i have no idea

I am no sparky but all it had was a large live feed (battery feed) and a wire for the battery warning light.The whole unit is about 6x8 inches and has three mounting holes 2 lower and 1 upper when fitted vertically to the rear of the engine at the O/S of the engine.
The adjuster is sprung or you could use some sort of adjustable sliding pulley and bolt to a suitable plate or the chassis, just make sure it is aligned perfectly.
