plenty off ebay, that 'll get you going in the mean time. just go a generic bosch off and old holden or ford and modify the bracketsto suit. then when you are working again just get the 120 amp bosch from an auto sparky for $300. it will swap straight in.


Cheers

Have a search in the Nissan section for Commodore alternator.

IIRC, the 100A VS commodore one fits with a little bit of modification.

Alternatively (no pun intended..) I believe one from an old blue bird will bolt straight up. Only 50A or 60A though. Might be a cheap one to keep you running and I think that you can have them rebuilt to something like 85A fairly cheaply.

Both of these are what Ive read / heard, but not experienced, but it's something for you to investigate.
