Post by: IrishCJ6 on June 03, 2012, 01:24:54 PM: Well I didn't even get one with my 360 from BD :003: So I went to the wreckers and found one to suit, I found that a Suzuki Larana (spelling wrong) fitted once I changed the front pulley from multi to V, its also a 100amp version so plenty of grunt. You can make almost anything work it just takes time and patience to find the right one.
