After ripping out our old refrigeration compressor, we had space to move the alternator back to a more accessible place. The configuration we had when we installed this engine did not allow for much space for both an alternator and a fridge compressor. The alternator had to be taken out to change a belt and the belts could only be slightly adjusted after that so belt changes were more often than normal, and always required a swear word or two. Unfortunately the old alternator would not fit any normal bracket so we would have to have a special bracket manufactured locally. After discussing this with the USA's Perkins genius, we decided to order the bracket and a new 120 amp alternator from him. We have it and now it is installed and working fine.
Here is a picture to prove it.
