Alternator BBClassics

[ahebron]

I am looking at getting a new alternator for the 6 and while cruising Ebay came across these alternators from Bad Boy Classics.
Now I will assume that they are most likely a 3rd world made copy of a Lucas 18 unit which will be fine as long as they have a good reputation.
Using Youshop I can land one in NZ for under $200.
Does anyone have any experience of this company and these alternators?

Happy new year

Adrian

Bad Boy Classics???
The name would put me off buying anything from them....

I have purchased their Halogen conversions for a couple of my 2000's

Pretty good quality for the price.

Some other Stuff they sell is lower quality I think. Not tried one of the alternators.

An A127 also fits, and if you are not as concerned by looks, there is one from a Kubota mini digger (I think) that fits. Might be able to source one of those in NZ

I got my 65amp alternator from Midlands Sports and Classics, cost £34 close on 4 years ago, still seems to be working well 16,000 mls later

I ended up getting a 75a A127 style alternator and starter solenoid from Bowers.
Next question is how long is the bracket from the alternator to the waterpump housing?
I am thinking of using a turnbuckle setup as it will look good
