alternator size, whats the smallest

Hi all,

Im looking for an alternator which i want to attach to my 2.0 blacktop zetec. I need one that is, well, very small in size. GBS do one but at £117 just for the alternator, (clicky linky to GBS) I was wondering what anyone knows of that is physically small but has reasonable output and most important is cheap as chips.

Thanks

Andy

I thought the 'humble' covered that, but yes, I'll take it...

search for denso alternator (dihatsu, kubota etc ones are made by nippon denso)

eg Denso Light Weight Competition Alternator 40 Amp | eBay

ok still 75 squid, but almost the same as one as i bought from someone on here... as i remember he was pretty slow

... and small
... and silly
... and weak
... and pure dead boring
... and ugly, no fugly
... and whatever the opposite of humble is

but he was a gent...

anyway, there is loads on ebay, but the nippon denso ones are known to be good for us now, so price has gone up...
