B3 coupe 2.3 (NG) alternator

First time I've had an original Bosch alternator fail, but fail it has.

Anyone with a spare please? W.Midlands / North West ideally

I’ve got this here…

If I remember correctly it’s from the B2 when we put the AAN in but you’ll need to check it’ll work for a B3. Clearly, nowhere near the North West so posting will probably make it prohibitive.

Thanks for the offer Ian.

Unfortunately the B2 coupe alternator is different, single front mounting/pivot point as opposed to two on a B3 (front and rear):

I’ll have another look at it in the morning just to confirm…

Just to confirm, it is a B2 alternator with the single front mounting/pivot point.
