David Mirylees Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 What alternators are you Silver Top Zetec chaps using? I have a Jimmy the Fish/Dunnell 2.0 litre silver top and the alternator is getting a little noisy. Mine is a Valeo but the info has worn away - it's probably a 432836 but for RH use. Trouble is I have had no success in finding one so alternatives are now required. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul jacobs Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 David, why not get it off and take it to RaysonsRadiators in Yeovil, who are, or were, agents for Valeo. They will probably recognise it and be able to supply another one? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetec Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 same one as for x-flow, I used mine for the silver top & now use it for the blacktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mirylees Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thank you both. Zetec, do you have any manufacturer or numbers available for the X-Flow item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun Bunny Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Like Zetec I transferred mine from the crossflow to the black top, (did have to turn the body & fit a 6 rib pulley) The original alternator was supplied by Caterham invoice reads 5432836 alternator Magnetti 45AH Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkin S3 ZA. Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I used one that is fitted to a Toyota forklift 35A unit, I have fitted one to my Duratec now. It has a single foot with a 10mm hole and a 8mm hole for the adjustment bracket, and they are 180 deg apart. I might fit a bigger pulley to mine as it gets up to 15000 rpm Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mirylees Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks chaps Raysons say they can source the original from their supplier in 5-6 weeks 😬 Another source reckoned about the same. Logging all other info gratefully received for future use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun Bunny Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 David Have you tried ABM starters in Weymouth (01305 812331), I think they rebuild yours if its not held in stock. Olly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
