Hi Neil,
FYI
Alternate Alternators for Transplant Into a TR6 - The original alternator
was an internally regulated Lucas 15ACR.
- Ask for the optional high amp Bosch alternator for a 78 to 80 Ford
Fiesta with A/C & rear window defrost. The standard alternator is a
Motorcraft so be sure to ask for the Bosch. This particular alternator
was also used in the 1976 VW Rabbit. Reference numbers supplied to this
list for the Bosch are as follows: 120 489 244 & D8RZ-10346-AX. NAPA
part# is: AL86X BSH. Prices vary greatly so it pays to check around. The
adjusting bolt thread is metric so be careful not to damage the thread
with an SAE bolt.
- The GM #7127 (NAPA #213-4011) has been offered as another example that
will work. Many outputs are available as well as connection locations.
Slight grinding modification to rear side of pivot is required.
Good luck,
