100amp V belt alternator.

Post by Envoy CDX »

Need to find a 100amp alternator to fit my mk2 engine - the 55/70amp alternator fitted to it just isnt up to the task of charging my battery properly.

Possibly, unsure if the brackets that bolt it to the engine are the same - one way to find out I guess.
