That reminds me Mark, if you want that TD42 alternator it's all yours. Doing a shed clear out soon so would be good to get rid of it to be honest

My BD supplied aftermarket alternator/vacuum pump died on the trip home from the donk party, after a mammoth 2496klm ex new fit net. Looks like the insulation has broken down with a lot of brown/black dust blown out the rear of the casing. BD are sending over a replacement but it's the same make, so might have to look at alternatives, such as stock Nissan in future.

Think I might have found my dream alternator gents and bulletproof too they reckon :-)!

215amps with 121amps at idle.
It is bulky but measured it up this morning and in theory should just fit drivers side behind the power steering reservoir with a 200mm supported extension shaft to pickup the existing Mitsubishi alternator V belt inline. 121amps at idle should power the 6hp Warn/Mahle motor no sweat :-)

I thought I was the only one setting myself next to impossible tasks! Good luck with this one Mark, the brackets are going to be a head twist, especially mounted off the engine and with the shaft extension. Make sure you use self aligning bearings/pillow blocks i reckon and these need to take the belt tension, so the alternator shaft doesn't see the tension load at all. I look forward to your adventure!!!! I am guessing the config is something like pulley, then a pair of spaced pillow blocks on a plate, shaft coupled to the alternator, would probably go for a coupling that allows for minor misalignment.
Lucky I know a good Mechanical Engineer @PeeBee you'll have it properly installed for me Phil in no time at all :-) I'd better finish off installing my oil coolers first before even contemplating this even wackier idea me thinks ;-)
More than happy to assist, but be aware that any job I take on with a projected timeframe needs to be multiplied by 3, so 5hrs = 15. This accounts for the talking, stupid decisions, rework, scrapping and starting again, soul searching and then getting it sorted in the final 15 minutes.
