gbsc do a really nice little denso alternator, with all the brackets and pulleys and stuff. £220, saves alot of hassle in making up brackets, and it fits under the jenvey throttle bodies rather than on the exhast side.

Could always make your own bracket for a suzuki swift, dihatsu charade, bedford rascal type denso alternator. Should be £10 from the scrappy plus a little cutting/welding time.

When you get them any chance of a comment on the quality of the brackets etc - ie have the brackets and fixing holes been cut with a plasma cutter or are they machined properly. I have found that plasma cutting means that a lot of cleaning up is required if you want a nice looking article at the end and to be honest, with a reasonable set of drawings I could probably get the bracketry machined at work for a lot less!

Sharky,

 

The brackets do seem to be laser cut but having said that they are quite well made (see attached). I will be getting them powder coated.

mine required shall i say a little bit of redrilling the holes to a bigger size so that the bolts would actually go through the brackets and screw into the hole they were supposed to! cant complain though, does the job nicely. and as i dont have access to a mig welder took the stress out of trying to get one/borrow one just to make some brackets up .
