They're actually Davies Craig's 12Vers unfortunately Daz, when I had all the dramas years back the SPAL's were the ones I was going to change over to but the boys at Davies Craig came to the party and sorted it all out very well with good replacements FOC :-)

Cool, see if you can retro fit the new GQ one instead of the one you have then you have room for the second 24v Alt

For sure mate, have measured it all up off Rossco's old GQ one and should be a straight forward swap over, out with the Pajero, back in with a Nissan :-)

Thanks again Phil @PeeBee mate! Mrs MB reckons the courier delivered within 24 hours from Paypal transfer. Much more confident now it might be a ridgey didge hi-amp as the seller has hand written some advice on the box and again for good measure to not be missed on the receipt:-)

Only thing I can see is they should have delivered to MY house! Looks good and when this warranty alternator expires in 2000klm I will be going this way.

:-) It's ok mate, I'll be the 6.5NA to GQ4.2 alternator Guinea Pig for us :-)
It's a bit freezing and dark outside to check at the moment but do you know much mate about 'V' belt angles/pitch to match on these pulleys, callipers needed or just eyeball it? Guess in a worst case I could swap pulleys over without hopefully needing to adjust shaft holes maybe too :-( ?

It is likely to be a 13A belt, meaning the outer width of the vee belt is 13mm. You can also get 11A belts, which will work but are not as strong and have less friction area on the side of the belt. I doubt it would be a B section as these are circa 16mm wide. The groove at the top of your A section belt pulley should be the same for the old and new. Ony reason to swap the pulley is it there is insufficient adjustment. The wrap angles will be very similar even if the pulley dia is different by a small amount.
