Bosch make an 85 amp "universal" alternator that bolts on to an Lseries engine and also bolts on to Holden engines as OEM. It has a sliding tube in its bottom bracket that allows adjustment to fit both engines lower mounting points. My son fitted on to his L18 engine.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mark krawczuk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 05, 2005 11:30 PM Subject: Re: Rally light's/ Alternator
