Re: Alternator Replacement / Modernization 140 73

Hi Craig,

I upgraded my 145e about 10 years ago. My car had a 60 amp. I put in halogens and guess what? The alternator wouldn't keep up. I'm now running a Bosch 70 amp that I got from a junk yard. I can't remember what car it's from. Anyway, it was an easy swap. Had to stack spacers/washers where it mounts to the block for proper belt alignment. Also, the new unit has an internal regulator, so minor wiring changes were needed.

I'll look at my car and see if I can find a part number on the alt. I used.

Wes
