Thread: UPGRADES!!!!! alternator

I am sure this has been disscussed to death but i thought i would add what I am upto atm, I have killed my 45 amp original alternator in my stage 1 so i have been looking into getting a higher output one. I have read some other post about ppl adding second hand or new black motor ones, xf falcon ones etc but i have gone for a new 120 amp unit.
Fendt, Deutz KHD 12V 120A Alternator
the model number is ANB217 here is a link to the place i got it.
IT is a little exy but i got a quote from british offroad for a direct replacement for mine and it was $390 for 45 amp again, so I figure an extra 80 amp for $20 less, I can handle that.
hope someone gets some use out of this post I havent fitted it yet should be here tomorrow i will post how it goes and any mods i have to make to get it hooked up

here is what i ended up doing through my own stupidity i broke the front mounting on the original casting impatience will always bring you undone so i made a new one and had to do some cutting and shaving to the cast one to make it work
1. I shaved down where the old mount snapped off so it was flush across
2. I made a u shaped cradle out of steel , 55mm from hole to hole and drilled thru
3. drilled 2 more hole through steel into cast which on the back of the original is hollow and put 2 bolts through to hold in place

Photos sort of show the idea I would remove again to show better but there is one bolt in the cast mount that hides behind the water pump and is a mongrel to get out
