Without seeing it, it's difficult to say, but it may be handed the other way. It is possible to change the 'handedness' of the Lucas alternators by removing the 3 long bolts (if they'll shift) and turning the front part of the casing, but there is then the problem of the threaded hole! This used to be done by just drilling the thread out, and then using a nut/bolt arrangement to holdthe lug on the adjuster if that makes sense. Some people removed the thread anyway and used a nut/bolt rather than just a bolt because (although more fiddly to adjust) it gave a little more support to the alloy.

Hiya folks Really daft question - I have ordered a new alternator, but it won't fit. The seller is absolutely adamant it is the correct one, and says that it is a right hand fit, and it is the correct unit. I have arranged a return. I have Googled, and it looks like it should a left hand fit... To save me keep buying alternators, can anyone advise if it is correct, and also did Quantum do anything funny to modify the bracket? On the one I have on the car, then with the 2 mounting lugs on top, the single mounting lug is near the engine / timing belt. On the one purchased, the single mounting lug would be near the front of the car...
