Fingerlickin_B Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi peoples, The interwebs & my crappy googling skills have turned up retrofitting VL Commodore alternator guts into a 4K one, but no direct replacement options. Can someone please let me know what 80A or higher alternator is a direct swap? I don't mind having to modify plugs, wiring, etc :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I've got a early HiLux Bosch 85A alternator, on my 4K, which I bought reconditioned on ebay. It was a direct swap, with only a washer or two required on the long mounting bolt to get the pulley to line up perfectly with the crankshaft & water pump pulleys. I'll see if I can get a model number off it tomorrow, & post it on here for you. Best thing I ever did for my KE30 electrics, for night time driving.

Fingerlickin_B Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 So I sent RainWarriorDregs a PM & he is yet to read it. Not complaining, he probably has his own life to live. Can anyone else please shed some light on this illusive RB alternator conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
