Triumph TR6 - Tired Lucas Alternator
What's the most common (upgrade) replacement out there these days that will be a simple swap without any modifications to the existing wiring, brackets, belts, pully system, ect... |

Bosch, Also depends on year of car Do a search on Bosch and Alt. Rod's done the changeover, prolly others too. I've got the GM in mine . Bigger but more work ,if I recall. |

Paul's is a great site for that. I think he over paid the alternator though. |

Yikes... 95 amp... Looks like they offer 55,65,75 and 95 amp options. I think I am currently at 34 amps. Any Idea on how high to go? They also go up in price along with the amps... I now have an electric fuel pump and the Lucas style additional driving lights drawing power... |

The Bosch 55 is plenty for what you got. If your running heated seats and computers, than you might want the big boy |

Sounds good Don... Thank you... |

As it turns out the 75 amp unit is priced the same as the 55 so I went with the 75. If anyone goes the BNR route be sure to let them know what size pully you are running. They for some reason by default have the 3/8" pulley so in my case I simply requested the pulley for the 1/2" belt and they set it up with no charge... |

BNR? Thought that was a Railroad |

The company is BNR parts out of Van Nuys, CA.. However, I felt I got railroaded a bit on the price... |
