I bought a new alternator from ebay rather than refurbish my old one, it not "exactly" the same but it looks great and works.
Tip (if you buy a new one), clean the alloy to remove any oils (mask the plastic), then paint it with "clear VHT paint", couple of light coats and it will look new for years. ( problem is it makes everything else look old in your engine bay) I bought a head lining in melbourne about 7 years ago, I think "classic motor trimmers". It fitted pretty good and looks Ok compared to the original. New Original clutch pressure and clutch plate in mine, shop around and you can save some money.

Was "supertrim" in coburg, not "classic motor trimmers"
Have a look at his site, he might be able to make one.

I recently tried to find some R31 Calipers for a Hilux rear end conversion. Rare as rocking horse poo!
So I went with R32/R33 turbo rear calipers. You loose the handbrake feature, but hey I've wanted to do an hydraulic handbrake forever.

Hyd handbrake is illegal so finding a rear caliper that wears a cable actuator is a better option. Cars like Focus, Mazda 3/6 , and many others are cable operated, there won't be much difference between them and are slightly more common for parts or replace.
The type of diff in the V6 Capri is an Atlas , I don't think the brackets Paul makes will work with the wider drums(axle poke out more) but it's nothing some spacers or washers can't fix depending on how they mount etc .

That's correct re legality Marty but this is a car is not for road registration. Apparently a handbrake isn't mandatory. I've only ever have one vehicle roll away (very sinking feeling) so I'm fitting a handbrake

Any brake changes will need engineering just beware of that.

My panel beater said that exact thing the day you mentioned this. So I will be keeping the rear drums until the girl is back on the road. Then I will re-evaluate it
