Default e-bay alternator

Finally got my new alternator installed today.
It is of good build quality, it is a exact match to the OEM, I cannot tell the difference just by looking at them.

I bought a alternator for a Range Rover Classic, it does not have the spade connector so I had to swap that over, no big deal.
The spade connector on the DI alt is bolted on, simple 30 sec swap.

The RRC alt is 120 amp.
I am going to have mine rebuilt by a indie shop and keep it as a spare.
The bearings went bad in it.

Actually it looks like it's for a GEMS Range Rover P38 instead.

The one I ordered was for a 1995 RRC with the 7 groove pulley, so it maybe for a GEMS P-38.
I thought all RRC's had a single groove pulley but I did order the 1995 7 groove alt and this is what I got, it fits perfect.

HOW MUCH?


Its a good thing to hear about Ebay purchases that work......My Radiator is doing great here in Texas this summer.

Your Alt looks like new OEM?

Who is the vendor and whats the cost?

Lucky for you I posted a link a few posts up.

It was $148 with free shipping.

It looks EXACTLY like new, the only difference is the plastic cover on the back does not say "Mag Marelli", it is blank, no name brand.
This one is a 120A compared to the 100A DI alt.
