I'm quite satisfied with my Swedish Embassy kit. A little pricey, sure, but I really like to support the vendors and suppliers that support the vintage volvo community (and particularly Brickboard) with my parts-buying dollars.

There are some "universal alternator brackets" scattered around on Ebay. Price looks to be in the $30 range. Not sure how well they will work on a B18, if at all. You could probably spend a couple hours laying upside down trying to find a bracket/alternator combination that will work. One problem is that people frequently end up having to grind off part of an alternator, which voids the warranty and ability to use it as a core, if you plan to use the remanufactured ones available from a parts counter.
