bosh alternators

[bob h]

Hi all, Did a search but probably not good enough as I couldnt find exactly what Im after. Recently got hold of a Bosch alternator out of an early Rangie and am looking to see what needs to be done to fit it to my 93 Disco V8. The back of the alt has the main battery wire connection, a spade connection and a push-on type connector. I still have the Lucas alt in the car at present. Thanks. Bob

See http://www.aulro.com/afvb/fcs-military-variations/110157-wots-been-happening-101-world-7.html#post1314253 but you may also need your tacho feed, sometimes it's already installed (terminal "W") sometimes it has to be tapped in.

You will also find that you need a spacer for the bottom rear mount and also need to extend and kink the adjuster because the OEM Lucas has it's adjuster at 2 O'clock to the mount at 6 O'clock, while the Bosch has 12 and 6.

If the push-on connector is a little round one on the back this is probably the tacho connect. Used in XE/XF Falcons for the auto choke. The spade terminal is the dash charge warning light connector. If in doubt post a pic of it.

Sounds exactly like the one Ive got. Thanks very much. Bob

If you can't find the correct connector for the tacho I used one of those blue wire crimp joiners, about the correct size for the pin.
