may be difficult to find a used one these days

lots of New ones about... cheap [and probably chinese]

or New Bosch alternators..

and as noted You will probably need a new alternator type of fuel pump as the original fuel pump won't fit with an alternator
as the alternator is too wide...

where are You located???

it may cost too much to send an alternator across Australia??

Hi again

2nd Hand 12 volt Generators are much more available and much cheaper...
also very heavy to freight..

You would then need to replace all light globes - everything electrical ..
otherwise they will BLOW first time they are connected to the 12 volt battery

COIL- CARBY AUTO CHOKE- ALL BULBS- BLINKER UNIT-
WIPER can be used with a resistor [coil resistor off old fords etc will do] starter will work on 12 volts.
