Minisport in Adelaide had some cheap alternators going ($155 i think it was) anyway i called about them and they're the ones with the big plastic shroud on the back. he told me if i want the smaller one he has them too - same size as the original lucas apparently - about $230 iirc - give them a call - interstate postage is cheap...

I found an earlier thread on the forum. Nissan Pulsar Bosch alternator fits with a bit of modification. Why because I need a new alternator! $155-$200+ is a lot more expensive than getting one from a wrecker. |

their a bit of info on this thread your looking for a N13 Pulsar about 88-91 their pretty good alternators. their an official pulsar thread somewhere else but this should get you started http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15764 best of luck and remember if you want your headlights brighter, fit good wires and a big relay for each to get that current to them |

If you buy a s/h Bosch one (Pulsar, or EA Ford) from a wrecker, check out whether the pulley is worn. They all had pressed tin ones that eventually wear to a U shape, then there's no way you can stop belt slip. 
I fixed this by boring an early Lucas 15AC cast iron pulley to fit the Bosch shaft. No more problem...

How about the Rover Magneti/Marelli ones? They give a heap more oomph, and bolt/plug straight on. Just make sure you use the original pulley off your old alternator, the rover ones run at a different ratio off the A/C pump and i fritzed the bearings Silly me, i should've listened to my own advice when i put it on.

Large Brown Obviously goes to start solenoid so thats laydown B+ Small Brown with blue trace also ends up at the start soelnoid so I'm thinking it should be to S Small brown with yellow trace appears to be ignition so should be L Now youv'e really got me confused! Thats at odds with yours. |

yes the small Brown with Yellow goes to L. (indicator lamp). We ran a switched 12V feed to S from the bottom fuseblock, on Chong's car (Mini-K). |

What is the reason for running the S wire to a switched feed from the fuseblock and not retain existing wire that runs to the start solenoid? |
