Silver top alternator - info/advice please
Evening, surprisingly it's already dark and raining again, not very inspiring so searching the net for locost alternator...
Might have found one off a dihatsu move which I know will fit as L5W uses one with a modified pulley.
My question is this, what is the approx diameter of alternator I should be looking for?
Just a roughtimate will do.
Cheers from wet Fenland

I managed to fit the stahdard sierra one to my indy using the silvertop engine
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I got one from a bedford rascal van for £20, it was new old stock, haven't fitted it yet but initial measurements looks like it will go under my
throttle bodies on the drivers side of the engine.
I did have to take off the vee type pulley though & made up an aluminium spacer for the zetec multi groove pulley, shaft on alternator was smaller
than the bolt hole in the pulley.
I found the rascal one much cheaper than the denso types, in a few months i might get time to make the bracket up for it 
Here it is:

And the spacer:
