Re: [alfa] Modern alternator for 105 2000 GTV

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Mark:

I don't know of a Japanese alternator that fits, but if you can source one 
from a later Bosch L-Jet Spider, it will bolt directly in place of the 
original alternator.  All the original fasteners, and even the belt, can be 
reused, and the newer alternator will come with an internal voltage 
regulator.  I've performed this update on several cars, and it couldn't be 
simpler or look much more original.  Bosch stuff is pretty generic, so if 
you can't find a wrecked Spider, maybe a BMW, Saab, Volvo, etc.?

Regards,
