My Amazon had a standard 240W generator (dynamo) with external voltage regulator mounted on the RH wing. I got a 55A (770W) Bosch k1>14V55A20 alternator out of a fuel injected 1982, 244GLE from a wrecker for NZ$50. The mounting of that alternator is quite different from the earlier models so I had to make up a special adjustable bracket for it. Details on my web site

Although the alternator has two pulleys, only one belt is used. Electrical connections were straight forward, the 2 wires that were connected to the old regulator are now connected to the built-in regulator on the alternator.

My car is a right hand drive car, we are driving on the wrong side of the road.
