How do I tell the difference between my collection of alternators, what's a 70 amp and whats a 75 or (80amps if they exist). |

Most of them are identical and have 15C on the back of them. A couple look similar but have a plastic back cover making them a longer item. Where should the model number be? |

Most common original Lucas ones sold here- 1/2 plastic back cover = 15AC (separate regulator, Mini K and Mk2S) 28A approx, and full plastic back cover = 16ACR (built in regulator, Clubbies) 34A approx. There is also a 15ACR? in between these two, it has no plastic back cover and the slip ring and diode setup inside is different. Not sure of output but probably between the 2 above. Most `Lucas' hi-po ones available now are not Lucas, but aftermarket. |

When does the 28a become a little too small? How much has to be running? |

The 28A one is fine, day or night, even with H4 headlights and a couple of driving or fog lamps. Remember the Mk1 cars, even the Cooper S only had a 22A generator, and that was fine back in the 60s. You really don't need a BIG alternator unless you are into doof-doof stereo systems. |

I sell 70 Amp Brand New Alternators. They bolt straight on. Always good to have some strong back up of power source in a Mini. |

Are they as small and light as the old mini ones? |
