An true alternator story for you.... I have a MKII with the 948 still in it. We changed over to negative ground last year & used a 1968 GM truck alternator purchased from NAPA for around $30.00. Jerr

The latest Classic Motorsports mag has an article about upgrading to a Bosch alternator. It says that with the help of a few washers, it slips right in. Has anyone done this on a 1275 and just how ma

Not the Bosch, it's just too big. Like the GM, way too big, 1/2 the size of the engine!! The Fetiva alt is nice and small, not much thicker than the generator and 1/2 as long. It just looks right. --
