Hi everyone
just after some info on fitting a falcon alternator to my samurai has anyone done this on here any info would be much appreciated
cheers Dan

Hey Dan, i was staying at the same motel as you guys at the RWC and spoke to you briefly on sat night when you got back.I put an EB falcon one in mine ,from memory it was 70amp.Only had to drill the mounting holes a bit bigger as i put a single bolt thru both the mounting points.Apparently a early 90s Mazda 626 one will work as well ( more grunt, may be a 110amp ) but i have no experience with this.I went onto the Outerlimits site to get all the original info but cant seem to log onto it tonight for some reason

Sweet cheers man i have found a EL one that is 110 amps but seems to sit to far forward that must be differece between EB and EL if all that it needed was the hole bored bigger

ive put the el one in i think it was a 110amp one thought it was supose to bolt straight up but i had to make a new bracket to make it work. works really well though.

I put a 110A EF alternator on my samurai. I used the standard mounts, I just had to put a V pulley on it with the correct sized spacer behind it, and drill out the mount holes.

I've got quite a small diameter pulley on it at the moment (comparable size to the multi-v one it came with) and I'm going through belts like crazy -- like one every trip. I have a slightly larger diameter pulley to try, hopefully that'll fix it.
