[TR] TR3/Morgan Alternator

[William Brewer]

      So I have an AC Delco 10si alternator in my 1953 Morgan +4 
(similar engine block as a TR3) that I bought from Triumph Rescue. It 
only mounts at one point at the front of the engine and it shakes a lot. 
I have tried tightening the mounts and tightening and loosening the belt 
to see if that helps. It is also a pain to put in or remove from the 
cramped engine compartment of the Morgan. Previously I had had a DynoAlt 
(alternator in a Lucas generator case), but it kept burning out so I 
went with Triumph Rescue in a clinch. In the old days of about 10 years 
ago I used a Bosch alternator from a 1980 Ford Fiesta in my other 
Triumphs. Those are pretty much unicorns these days. I have been 
thinking of trying a REMY 13107 from RockAuto or my local auto parts 
store. It has mounting ears front and rear like a Lucas generator or the 
old Bosch alternators so it should be a better mount. Has anyone fitted 
one of these? Any issues? Does it fit the TR3 generator mount?
