The bolts for both are 10mmx1.5mm thread in varying lengths. Check my Corty build thread for a pic of the late alternator bracket,a VL Commondore 6cyl Bosch alternator is a perfect fit...just needs an appropriate pulley

The EF alternator fits better with an alloy cortina mount,the best combo that I have found is the late cossie mount with the VL Bosch unit...being perfect without mods other than the pulley change. Below is the EF style Bosch unit on a 2L Cortina bracket...fits but is a mix and match.  Top Centre in the below pic is an alloy version of the late Cossie bracket, I have a modified original bracket which is steel if your interested,it has been modded to lower the alternator by about 10mm.I have a vbelt pulley to suit a Bosch alternator as well if thats what your running.

I've also got a couple of the alloy Cortina mounts if you would rather go that way. One other advantage of the Cossie mount is that it fits up with 4 bolts instead of 3 with the Cortina mount.
Cheers,
Phil.

Cheers for your help I think the alternator is a mitsibishi type from memory. I will grab the cossie bracket and work with that What do you want for it?
Any chance you have a 2wd water pump and pulley laying around to?

Hi Luke, Studs will have to come from the UK as they are a special type with extended tip to reduce the chance of breaking. I will weigh it up but can hopefully sneak it into a 3kg bag @$10...will let you know
