cheap alternator for pinto engined cars
I've bought a new alternator from Paddock motor factors.
Paddock Landrover motor spares
The alternator hangs on the other side of the engin on the Landy, so by undoing the three bolts that hold the ends on, you can rotate the end 120
degree.
This makes the brackets correct for it to hang on the other side, as needed for the Pinto . 5 minute job, plus it fits in the Avon with plenty of
clearance too !

they are brand new, not reconditioned in any way. My mate in the trade told me to steer clear of recon alternators. Apparently, the internals have
been upwards of 2 or 3 times and that they frequently just get and acid bath dip to freshen them up. All that then happen is new electronics bolted on
the end. It certainly explains why some recon alternators only seem to last a few years before they pack up. I've had one of these units running
on my landrover for 3 years and it still going strong. Definately recommend them !

Sorry for my ignorance 
What about the plug to connect it to the loom, is this the same as a pinto plug ?
Also what bracket does it require? will a standard pinto one work?
Many thanks, Andy
