[diesel_mercedes] Re: Other Car's Alternators

Volvos look like a good bet too , they have reducers in the
mounting holes to suit 8MM bolts where the Mercedes & SAABs use 10MM
bolts , the reducersare rubber and should press right out .

output alternators. The ones from the MBs will bolt right in and
connect with no problem; the ones from the Saabs will require some
modifications for the electrical connections. I haven't tried it
myself, but the more adventurous could probably mix and match MB and
Saab alternator components to get the Saab's 80-amp innards inside
an MB alternator housing.
