Not sure about brakes, but from experience Japanese Motors have small alternators.

Most of the Birkin folks over here use Suzuki alternators.

no electric windows, heated rear screen aircon fans etc, fit the smallest one you can find... so basic car such as a micra and see whats under the
bonnet.
As long as it can keep up with the lights and small engine draw you are fine.

Princess 4 pot calipers will fit Cortina hubs.
Not sure whichother Frds were fitted with M16 calipers but you could try Mk II Granada and Mk II Capri as starters

Of course, there are also several aftermarket calipers available to replace the M16s, such as Wilwood, Raceleda, etc. These are definitely not
cheaper, though!

I think you will struggle with any alterator to get clearance for the steering coloum.
I'm using the same engine.
Heres my solution.

I fitted GIANT 3" wide drums from a 2.8i Capri to my Striker with standard 13" wheels. They filled the space nicely and the braking
performance was superb. They pull the back down nicely when you chuck the anchor out.
Bought all the bits brand new from GMS and my local Ford dealership. (a few years ago now mind, but this century)
