Mallard Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 ( I posted this on Locost North America and Locost USA but have not found an alternator as of yet.) If anyone were to tell me I couldn't fine an alternator for my 1.8 Zetec with a Westfield mount I would tell them they were crazy. Well after looking on and off for the past 6 months I give up. I can find one in Europe but the ridiculous prices plus $100 freight burns me up. Does anyone know where I can find a Lucas LRB00172 alternator or one of the cross referenced ones below?

This is a brand new car and I want a new alternator that will fit the mount and plug into the wiring harness without any cobbling up of the wiring or the mount. Thanks to all for any help.

powderbrake Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Mallard: Welcome to the usa7s forum, I see this is your first post. Sorry I can't help with the alternator which you need, but this is a good place to follow up if the locost forum hasn't delivered results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-t Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I believe that the Bosch units are the same ones that came in Ford Escorts and Fiestas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsport Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Where are you in Kansas? I'll stop in and visit someday. I'm in Wichita, Ks. My Zetec Birkin uses a Geo Metro Altenator. Try this link and see if it helps. http://www.woodauto.com/Unit.aspx?Man=BOSCH&Ref=0123310014 Also, send me a picture of your mounts to alllotus71@yahoo.com if you have one.

locost7018 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Carsport that is Harry. He had the unfinished Westy at the car show Labor Day weekend. He's a good friend who is pulling out what little hair he has over this darn alternator problem. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks 1-t The 1st 2 Bosch units were superseded by the 3rd one and that alternator has never been imported to the US according to Bosch USA. carsport, I live in Leawood KS 66206. You’re welcome to come by anytime. I will send you an image of the Westfield mount. It has rubber bushings that go into the large holes and it uses a Ford adjustable arm for tensioning the belt. Let me know if you have any other ideas on how to find a unit that will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
