    What alternator for Xflow?

    Hi all.

    Can anyone let me know what alternator best suits swapping out an old dynamo with?

    I fancy buying used and clean it up (it's what I do) and have been looking around. Pinto ones are getting hard to find but what about more modern offerings?

    VAG stuff is cheap here but they also tend to have weird mounting arrangements.

    I wanted to know what you fellas are using/recommend

    Cheers

    Pinto has the alternator on the other side so the mounts are different.
    I would contact people like escort-tec who specialize in 2nd parts for xflow, pinto, escort.
    They will have a good Bosch or Lucas alternator for a few pennies.

    Just go to the parts shop and get one for a mk1 or mk2 escort in the uk they are pretty cheap new and re-manufactured.
