80 series 1HDT Alternators

Hi All,

Mine needs a service, can't get bearings etc till I pull it apart so I need to either, find a spare one or buy an uprated one and then keep this one as a spare. Anyone know where I could buy an uprated one? 120A+ or have an old one lying around I could buy?

Thanks,

Bill

Those mud holes were usually the formed track and had a hard bottom... ...
