Geoff Dixon Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 The standard alternator on my 1.6 K series is on the way out. What do you guys recommend for replacement. I was thinking of getting a light weight Brise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miraz Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 If you've got the time, then it's worth going along to Brise in person to make sure that you get exactly what you want - they have all sorts of electrical goodies, pulleys, mounting brackets lying around and seem to be quite happy putting together a solution to suit.

stevefoster Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Judging by the weight of the alternators that DT have in their catalogue you can save 0.5 kgs or just a little more perhaps. A replacement Valeo can be had for ~£60 and weighs 3.5kgs inc pulley and fan. The Brise ones.... ~£300 perhaps. You pays your money.... /Steve My racing pics, 7 DIY, race prep.

Blatman Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 As far as I can tell, the 93mm, 50amp alternators for sale in the DT catalogue are identical in size, shape and output to a Daihatsu Charade 1.0l alternator, which I use, and have used, for 3 years, without problems. As Steve says, 60-80 quid at your local electrical factors. It's a steal............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
