[TR] Alternator Retrofit

[Joe Curry]

That is the one I put on my Spit as well.  It is not only mount compatible
but also plug compatible.  And unlike the Delco unit, it is small enough in
physical size that it does not look out of place.

There is a 55 amp Bosch alternator that will fit right into the 15 ACR
mounts.  It's a bit more expensive than the common Delcos (although Delco
does make a similar unit); but my FLAPS had one on the shelf and the cost
was only about $75 outright.  I see Rockauto has several of them for $50 +
shipping.

Original equipment on a 78 Ford Fiesta with A/C (and a Bosch alternator, the
Motorcraft unit is completely different).

Another alternative is to cut into the alternator housing to make it fit.
