The original Zetec alternator is designed to power all the electrical systems within the car such as heated windscreen, rear screen, electric windows, seats etc. and is far over-rated for use on the Tiger.
I've been struggling to fit the alternator as the mounts were in the wrong position on the alternator.... after some research i did this......
Tiger specify you fit the Lucas LRA100 or LRA101. The only difference being the physical casings where the front and rear housing sections are rotated round 120 degrees with respect to each other. They are both rated the same with a maximum current output of 36 Amps which should be more than enough for the Tiger.
To determine whether the front and rear housing sections are aligned appropriately, undertake the following instructions. Looking at the alternator from the pulley end, the two lower mounting holes want to be on the bottom right and corner and the single mounting hole on the front section wants to be at the top. If they aren't, remove the three long bolts holding the front and rear sections together. Carefully split the front and rear sections apart by a couple of mm and slowly rotate them round until they are in the correct orientation, then re-fit the long bolts.
Bobs your fathers brother it fits!!!
