We used a nippon denso alternator (daihatsu hijet van and charade car iirc). We had to make a custom bracket to fit it on, but it is tiny (90mm dia I think) - take a look at my blog for piccies of it, and a description of how we made it fit (205 block Pinto)

Mine is from a nissan micra,it's a
nippondenso,nice and compact with the
fan on the inside.I bought it because the
sierra unit was far too big.

I'm afraid that they don't come any smaller then the denso's
