Yup - have just looked up prices of original - or almost original type alternators down your way and they seem pretty strong to me in the range of 220 to 300 AUS$ so I'd go with the Magna option.

Just a follow up to close off this issue. The alternator is alive and the circuit is charging! It was the brushes and I was able to find some NOS for the EMAIL unit (Electricity Meter & Allied Industries Ltd, who like Lucas still exist in some renamed format  ) Brushes
(I did go to the wrecker site but that early era Magna (straight swap) is now a pretty rare car and newer cars have the habit of burying the alternator halfway under the engine.) Looks like a lot of smaller alternators would nearly fit - but the coil is on the same bracket point as the alternator so its a wee bit tight. So all good and thanks for the pointers. Paddy |
