[TR] What am I missing

[Paul Tegler]

ahhh.... wrong alternator!

There are a bunch of Bosch and GM units that have two ears (not one wide 
one) and the top/bottom positions are not at 6 and 12 o'clock, rather 12 
and 8 or 12 and 4

a couple examples...... (granted a Midget, a MGB and a GT6)

<http://www.teglerizer.com/alternator/index.html>seems to be the type of 
info you're using

what you need is something along the lines of
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triumph-TR6-TR8-TR250-SPITFIRE-Alternator-Bosch-75-Amp-Generator-Direct-Fit-/282369252394?_trksid=p2385738.m2548.l4275

This Bosch style even uses the Lucas alternator plug  for the wiring harness

you can also get GM CS130 units with this 'side ear' style mounts that 
fit beautifully. There is a guy on EBay as well that swaps out the 
serpentine belt and mounts correct v belt pulleys
