Nick Moore Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Somrthing like a 15ACR should fit. They come as left and right handed models though, with the adjusting bar's lug in different positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Loads of alternators fit. One off a fiesta, circa 1990 ish will do. As aboce, the lucas ACR ones are original fitment. Also look at landrover etchttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/landrover-series-alternator-gwo-no-res-bargain-/200616053876?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb5a60c74http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Escort-Mk-3-Fiesta-Alternator-UNIPART-/220781961248?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3367a16020this pic shows the "orientation" you wanthttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/A403-Ford-Escort-Fiesta-Alternator-55-Amp-1991-99-/370385839446?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item563cb76556this is the one you do not (is in mountings, plus it is a multi-vee pulley)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/A526-Ford-Escort-Fiesta-90-99-Alternator-70amp-6V-Pulle-/390200193636?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5ad9be7264Try to be fussy about what you end up with, I have had poor experiences with even proper Lucas reconditioned units failing very early. Have a search on ebay close to you for alternators, even older renault/vauxhall/rover/metro etc will go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Nippon Denso seems to be the way to go. Cheap new, even cheaper from the scrappers and utterly reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire1500 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I got a new delco remy 1.3 Ford/Land Rover alternator for my Spitfire, with the 3 pin connectors on the back. It was £26 from one of my local motorfactors. £56 without exchange exc VAT.Kind Regards,David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partsaver Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If you go to a parts shop for an ALternator they will sting you for extra money if you dont have an old one.I use the local scrappys, older mins,most fiestas, metros, and rovers all have the correct type, take one of an accident damaged car, shouldnt cost more than £15.
