would be easier to drop your lump out get the welding done and bits then get someone over

[novadave24]

yeah i can drop mine out its just fitting the red top and all that wiring.

well im sure someone could help with that but you would need to bash your chassis leg with a hammer for the altenator to clear or get it cut and boxed.

chassis strengthing plates are normally fitted aswell

Im not sure mate i think one way around it is mounting it at the front but you would have to Fabricate a bracket and mount for it
