Alternator Recognition Help

 Could anyone recognise this alternator please?.  I would like to know what it is so I can buy a spare one.

 

I know that it was made by Bosch, or to their design and it produces about 30A with a tail wind.  The mounting lugs are 89mm apart.  I believe its OE application was a Ford vehicle.

 

Thank you.

All the early Ford ones that come up on Google (and I thought Escort too) are 81mm l when measured between the mounting lugs.

 

But if he pushed the sliding bush back in the slip ring end bracket it probably would be close to 81mm. It all depends on where he measured it from and to.

The 89 mm is measured  between the lugs themselves.  The sliding bush can reduce the 89mm.

The ones I found are 81mm between lugs with the sliding bush reducing this. If it is around 30 amp makes it very early Ford, say mid 70s. Difficult to find any info on Google as all suppliers want a reg number.

I have had the original item since about 1990, bought from a High St  motor factors. I too have googled extensively and whilst there are lots of 30 and 35 A alternators I have not seen a photo resembling this one.

I have considered going to a second  A127, but that means new mounts, on the engine beds,  which in turn means shifting the Kelvin and the generator out if the way to do the job.
