I am under the impression that the Fiesta alternator IS a Bosch, but I could
be wrong. This info came from pprok.com as recommended by Paul A. and Peter
C. If you go to their website (www.pprok/pweb/c/wic) you will see the
interchanges and OEM numbers for the Fiesta alts, and most of them list Bosch.
(One is actually Lucas!!!)
So yes, the alt. that I got, fit right in with no mods other than a longer
belt and that filing of one ear. It seems just a little "fatter" than Lucas,
but the mounting is the same. The bottom bolt is metric, though.

Hello Geoff, Do you mean to say that the Bosch alt has the exact dimensions
as the Lucas unit? Other than having to file down the ear a little,there is no
other modification needed ,such as the use of washers? Bob C
