I used what I was given.....I think it is a standard Ford one that came from the donor (another kit car..) that used it before me.

I like the one on the ebay link, but where is the specification....40 quid sound very good to me.....

standard pinto will fit but you will have to make a new mounting bracket

i've used an alternator from a early 1990's nissan micra. it is shorter and slightly smaller than the ford item. it also has a "V" belt drive.

i mounted this on a home made bracket to bring it closer to the block.

i also wrapped the exhaust manifold to prevent too much heat building up near the alternator.

ps it cost me £19 delivered
