[TR] Alternative to Delco 10Si alternator?

[Geo Hahn]

FWIW -- Alternators from the popular chains (AutoZone, O'Reilly's) usually
come with a lifetime guarantee.  I use one on my older (non-British) car
and on two occasions have swapped in a replacement in an AutoZone parking
lot when the alternator failed while travelling.  They even let me use
their impact wrench for the pulley nut.

Of course they probably prefer you not grind away part of the body so one
that fits w/o modification might be the best choice.
