High Performance Alternator
Hi All,
I am clearing out my garage as I am moving overseas.
I bought this Alternator a while back and never ended up fitting it. Its a compact one and it is designed for high revving eg 19000rpm! I paid over
£200 for it but open to any offers. It has never been used.

What is the power rating? It looks like my
eBay Forklift jobbie which is 50A.
Any spec?

i will try and dig out the receipt and get the spec.
i've had it over a year and half on my shelf in garage.
I am clearing my garage and said that I am open to offers and only stating how much it cost when I bought it.
I am so pleased for you for buying a brand new alternator for £65 Well done you! you must tell everyone where you got it from!

Mine looks identical on the outside too and I also paid around the £65 mark on ebay.
The internals may well be different though as there are a number of companies using the Denso alternator and "improving" it.
Some will do an excellent job others less so or so I have heard.
All turns on the spec and the reputation of the company.
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a

There are lots of different denso alternators and most of the ones people 'pick up for £65' are much, much bigger than that unit.
This one looks like one of the Brise densos which really are tiny, much smaller than most.

The closest I found to one that size is a Honda Prelude 2.3 one, which are hard to come by at reasonable cost.

Yes most Alternator castings are reused, as you say the quality of the internals (The important part) make the difference.
i think it is important i dig out the invoice and spec.

I don't "do" recon alternators these days, the quality can be appauling (proper Lucas recons that generally last less than a couple
of years etc) so I would try to buy brand new if possible. I got a denso digger one cheaply off the bay, all brand new etc and tiny. Brise seem to
sell the same units but with a "motorsport" mark-up

Just getting back to the point of my post....
I am not trying to sell a second hand alternator for £200! I merely explaining that it is a high performance unit with heavy duty windings that can
withstand high revving over long duration. It is more compact than the Brise unit i had on (based on a LRA101).
As I said I am open to offers on it, I am moving abroad and its worth more to someone else than it is to me....

The above link can tell you all about it as this is where i bought it from. I believe mine is the 45amp version as I was racing and do not have things
such as wipers heaters etc to run.
