This is a 100% new air cooled VW alternator with built-in regulator, and was the style of alternator used as original equipment on 1973 and later VW Beetle's and VW Ghia's to assure fast starts and bright lights.
This VW alternator is an exact clone of the Bosch AL82N.
And is the stock replacement for the Beetle 1973 to 1979 and Ghia 1973 to 1974. Please note on 1973 to 1974 models you will need to do a small amount of re-wiring. This alternator is a far superior than cheaper units we have seen and had to replace as they failed, there are sublet differences that we have found make this alternator more reliable that others available. This is also the same alternator we sell in our custom upgrade conversion kits.
Will not fit Type 3 or Type 4 engines.
55amp output, thats almost double the stock generator!
