I have a vague memory of this being a good idea, and fairly simple to do? Just a few spacer washers on the back of the alternator mount, and job done. Benefit is a stronger alternator.

sound reasonable, or a bad idea? Discuss.

If you can get it to fit and it works giving you a better charge then surely its a good idea. But then what do i know:p

Bish, on your first gen you dont have enough electric things to need a more powerful alternator. You already have a much bigger one with the 13b T over the original 12a one.
