Ef falcon alt on to gq tb-42.

[WHITEGQ]

Hi all,
Just thought I would do a post on fitting EF Falcon 100amp alt on to my GQ, TB-42.
I just had my alt on my GQ, TB-42 have a BIG melt down on Thursday, alt light didnt even come on, only noticed when stereo started making popping noises, looked at volt meter on dash and was only reading 6 volts. Took it to auto elec on Friday, they pulled alt apart to find that the stator had completly burnt out, non repairable. So I called a mate who wrecks a few Patrols to see if he had another alt, he had an EF Falcon alt that had been made to fit the Patrol. The Falcon alt is 100amp, it had the original GQ alt double pulley bolted on, also the back mounting leg had been cut off, all bolted straight up, as there was only the 1 leg remaining I made another metal bracket to mount off the back of the alt, then bolted that up to intake manifold. All wiring connected straight up with no modifications, even the 2 wire Patrol plug just plugs straight in. Only thing I did do was run an extra wire from + terminal on alt straight up to + terminal on battery. Turned key on and alt light came on, started Patrol light went out, was showing 14 volts, checked with multimeter with all accesories turned on, ie-twin thermos, high beam/ driving lights, stereo and heater fan on high, RPM at 1000, volts didnt even drop 1 volt. Problem all fixed for approx $100. Sorry to ramble on, but hopefully this will help others. Will take some pic's today and add them to post.
