You have two choices - find one from an Audi or Golf - bigger than 90A is rare with the same base that the Vanagon needs - you will have to swap pullies, but that is fairly simple. The ultimate is to use two alternators - there are factory brackets for this and it is healthier for each alternator as they will be producing less current and not working as hard to achieve 110A David Marshall Fast Forward Automotive Inc. 4356 Quesnel Hixon Road Quesnel BC Canada V2J 6Z3 http://www.fastforward.ca mailto:sales@fastforward.ca Phone: (250) 992 7775 FAX: (250) 992 1160 - Vanagon Accessories and Engine Conversions - Vanagon, Transporter and Iltis Sales and Importation - European Lighting for most Volkswagen models -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of G.

Hi all, Hey, I know I have heard mention of 110 or 120 amp Alternators on the list. Stock ones are 90 amp. Who knows anything about the bigger ones & where do you get them. Make & model would be helpful. I'm wanting to upgrade for an auxilary battery set up that keeps running into problems. Thanks, ===== David Kelly 1990 Syncro Vanagolf 15" 1963 Comet Convertible 1976 CB550 Super Sport Seattle __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
