Alternator advice needed

[jona bona]

Hi guys I'm after some alternator advice. Im using a standard alternator at the moment and I'm finding that the voltage is to low. I've relocated the battery to the boot and am using a varley red top 40 battery. when the cars ticking over its at 12.5 volts and when I'm high up in the rev range its dropping as low as 10.8 volts. Im thinking i need a bigger alternator but wheres the best place to get this ?

any advice welcome

hi mike i have looked at that already and was just wondering if there are any other options. Also how involved is the modification to the bracket ?

Cheers

I hade the same problem, overhault the alternator and fit a 15v regulator. Works perfect now

My alternator was brand new from ford a couple of years ago and has only done about 500 miles I just think its not man enough now.

It should last longer then that. Take of the regulator, and have a look at the "rings" dont now what you call it over there

trouble is the alternator has always bin like that from brand new, so I think it is just that its not got enough amps
