what is the smallest and lightest alternator in the scrap yards?

Nippon denso have a good reputation for fulfilling both of those. Not sure what car they're on though
Sorry.
Try fleebaying for Nippon Denso- I'm sure they'll say which cars they're for....

What about a bike alternator ?

Small/light/cheap You just need to mod it to take a drive pulley.

Down side would be a lower out put.

see my post re alternator,brand spanking for a kubuto digger,£35 + £10 delivery

This little fellah is quite small - 55 Amps too. Bedford Rascal I believe

the one in razman's pic looks like a nippon denso one to me.

nippon denso off a kubota is the smallest I've seen as I've had 3 of the nippon denso ones and this is the smallest.

Ned.

That close eh?!!

ps I might have got it wrong then

Small Daihatsu's come with the nippon densu iirc.

Anyone see the Alt fitted to the Zetec SE powered wildmoor car at Exeter?

The owner told myself and Robocop it was a motorcycle one, but damned if i can remember which one, I've send him an email asking which one it was but so far no response.

ATB Dan

I think you told me it was a Yamaha one Dan.


Just been down to the scrappy as it happens looking for alternators. The only decent sized one I could find was one from a Suzuki Swift. It was pretty tiny. But had a multi belt and I need a V. Where can I find a V pulley that might fit?

Do motorfactors usually carry different pulleys?

I've brought different pulleys before, but be bu**ered if I can remember where from, although I do remember I was buying a alt at the time, so I'd guess motor factors can get you different ones.

ive got the V pulley from this alt going spare if ya want it,u2u moi

Conrod you have U2U
