IIRC you should be able to remove the alternator body screws and rotate the two casings to the alignment you need. If not one from a classic Mini will be the same.

^^^ yes - what he said. It will be Lucas type on which there are 2 or 3 very long bolts; undo and then rotate so the lugs are in the required orientation.

Minispares are doing a good deal on new alternators. Also been quoted good prices at Partco lately.

Cheers,
Syd.
