Don't stop at the e12! (archive)

I don't know how crafty you want to be. But a later model (mine's from an '86 L7) will replace the alternator in an e12. 90 amps! While I was at it I replaced the power steering pump and alt brackets to the later adjusters with the toothed nut. Pretty easy except the power steering pump bracket had to be modified. Well worth the time.

E12 alternator has solid mounts for early, rubber for most late models. Bushings are replaceable and urethane works well. Check BMP and others. All are internally regulated. Not sure if they will fit your 02. Good luck.

I am looking to install an E12 alternator into my 2002 to gain ome benefits if it'll fit.
Are all E12 alternators internally regulated? (2002s are externallty regulated).
Does the E12 alternator have solid mount bushings or, like 2002s are they rubber that wears out in a couple of years?
Thanks for any information,
Mike
