    Higher-output alternator for a Series

    Hi all,

    Mine's a petrol Series III and the output is around 35 amps. I want to install something which will produce at least 60 amps - ideally 80 amps or more. Is there any obvious choice, such as a Defender or other model which will suit?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Cheers,
    Lane.

    I always use Bosch alternators from an air conditioned XD or XF Falcon the one I currently use is a 60 amp.
    Cheap and reliable

    OK, thanks for the lead. I presume the legs are similar so these will bolt right in?

    Not sure you would have to check
    From memory the 6 had the same legs as a Valiant 6
    Not sure about the 4
    I am running a Ford alternator on my V8 at the moment

    The XF EFI alternator was a brilliant unit.

    Just a 2 minute job to replace the regulator and brushes while still in the vehicle. (single module held in by 2 screws)
