When I did the conversion the engine came with a 105Amp alternator, at the time I had a Warn 15000lb electric on the back of the patrol and wanted some more grunt, so replaced it with a 300amp unit from the USA. The unit fitted without issue and has been reliable, until last week the volts died. Trip to the Auto Elec after some over the phone diagnostics from @matfew, and turned out the volt regulator had given up the ghost. Easy, pls replace it - Nope not a single unit in the country. I ended up having to import both the voltage reg for the 300 and I wanted a spear for the 105 as well, and yes , not one in the country.
So the lesson I guess is if you go down the path of importing gear you need to ensure the spares are avail. If this had happened in the middle of the high country or the desert it would have been very stressful.Alternator 1.jpgAlternator 2.jpg
The Reg for the 105 arrived in 5 days ex USA, still waiting on the 300.
