Hi. Does anyone have an alternator for a 1977 Ford Crossflow 1300/1600?

If you are stuck I have one but the postage would be more than the value of the item.
Easier to repair your old one
It is just an ordinary Lucas ACR 17 very easy and cheap as chips to overhaul or you could fit a Lucaus A127 as used on the Escort 3 and some Sierrs and Metro.

Hi Jon , haven't seen you for a while, hope all is well? Any decent motor factors should be able to help with the alternator , not particularly expensive

Hi Rusty

Hope you are well. Yes it's been a few years. Maybe we can get together once I'm back on the road
