It's windy, it's raining, and I don't feel like doing the job.. But...
A mk3 Escort 1.3 estate I sold a friend a couple of months ago appears to have a dead alternator... As I found when I was called out to go help him get home. He's got a diesel Fiesta sat doing nothing, but the alternator won't fit.
However, I've got a spare Lucas 45a one sat on a Triumph 1300 engine that's not in a car anymore, so easy to get off. Will it fit? The Lucas one is originally off a Mini, same fittings as Triumph 1300/ 1500 engines, and somewhere at the back of my mind I seem to recall reading Ford ones can be fitted to Triumphs, so I'm hoping I can fit one off a Triumph onto a Ford! It's a 1300 cvh engine, if that makes any difference.
Be nice to get some replies before tomorrow afternoon, when I've got to brave the elements :(
Oh, and it's totally a classic car question - According to my insurance comp, the Escort was a classic!
