[Festiva_tunner]

is there any bolt in altinators that have a higher capacity - I can rewire if needed
Or is there a bolt on bracket with out too much moddifying? i tried searching but came up with nothing

I purchased one from a 92 323 from a member on here..was a direct bolt on, no rewiring needed. I dremeled the bottom bracket for fitment...but it actually would have fit without it. It was much easier to put it in from the top after removing the brackets from the engine block.

Here's the one I got. It's rated at 65, but puts out more.

Thanks Brian , Will,and Mech .

Very good info , I have never needed one yet , I always keep a spare in the car , but I wanted to upgrade soon , to a bigger amp.

70 amp off an MPV fits, same plug, it's on the back instead of the top, shouldn't make a difference. Same bolt pattern and pulley. Mitsu stamp on the back though. No idea why.
