Will,
Just did mine about a year ago. I used a Triumph TR7
alternator and the original front (with adjusting slot) bracket and made an "L"
bracket for the rear out of some channel iron. Works great and clears the
bonnet. Only trouble I had was finding a belt that was short enough to
keep the alternator clear of the bonnet. I can even give you the correct
belt number.
I have pix of the install if you'd like them.
Is your dynamo still operable? Mine was (is) chrome and
looked great on the engine but the back plate was shot and I can't find a
replacement. Care to sell yours?
Where are you located?

I've been lurking on this list for a while, but have the need for
some group expertise. I'd like to change the dynamo on my 1970 V6 for
an alternator. The wiring part of it is fine, but I'm having problems
getting the alternator low enough to avoid fouling the bonnet.
I've been trying to use a standard ford alloy alternator braket but
it leaves the alternator too high up.
Anyone else found a suitable alternative, or is it fabricate my own/
modify the dynamo mount time?
Thanks in advance
Will
