Small alternator is off a mini digger, rose joints and parts you can get from Mcgill motorsport on ebay or whatever their called.
OOHHHH thanks jonlem, i have found the turnbuckles dead cheap. i shall be investing in one very soon :D
No worries mate, I supplied a few of the digger alternators to a rally company a few years back, I forget exactly what they were off but it was a mini digger. They were just under £100 iirc.
kubota (sp) is one i sourced a denso job from
denso rings a bell.

Daihatsu Alternator ~
This is a short guide on how to wire up a Daihatsu/Nippon Denso Alternator.
The Daihatsu Alternator has long been used as an alternative to the Vauxhall, Ford etc standard items as they can be around 2-3kg lighter, fit in much smaller places and run at much higher revs.
The most popular one fitted is the Charade 1.0 and 1.3 litre variants although I personally fitted a Daihatsu Mover to my Vauxhall XE with success. Another popular choice is the Toyota Starlet and Bedford Rascal (van) which are equally small and light.
Most of these can be picked up from the salvage yard from about £20- £30. When searching for them, try and get the plug that fits into the connector socket as this makes for a tidier installation although this is not absolutely necessary. Also, they usually come with an insulating cap on the main battery feed post (grey in colour). Try and get this too as it will prevent anything shorting out against the main batter connector.
daihatsu cuore is another good un.
I believe there the ones I was getting.Quote:
