it seems that the higher amp rated standard Lucas alternator is the a127 at 75 amps.
I found these guys who also do the 18ACR. Not sure how good they are but it is a start:
https://www.bowerspartsonline.co.uk/veh ... -left-handThey also provide a useful diagram of A127 dimensions. I managed to get a bigger diagram from the Bowers site for you to compare and check the mounting spacings. It may be deceptive but the A127 still looks big to me compared to the Bosch units on things like VWs and some GM stuff like Astras.
Also I notice that Bowers refer to this as a LH unit as it would normaly be mounted on the other (LH) side of the engine from your unit and with the 2 lugs on top and the single lug underneath.

If the A127 is too big or the mountings don't fit then It depends how much you want to fiddle around. But if knew someone with a VW/GM Bosch unit to park alongside, I might want to make comparisons of sizes and mounting dimensions to see if it could fit. I have never tried the swap so I don't know but used 120amp Bosch units seem readily available. Has anyone done that swap ?
There are 60amp 18ACR units on ebay etc but is this just PRC being optimistic ?
Whichever one you get, don't forget to order the plug as you will need to re-do and simplify the wiring to cut out the external regulator and relay.
