For comparison's sake I borrowed a 70A c900 alternator from a friend to see what I'd need to 'convert' the 9-3 alternator to work on a c900.

From my measurements it looks as if the double v-belt pulley of the c900 alternator sits about 10mm too far towards the firewall when mounted on the 130A alternator. I think it's pretty easy to make it work on single belt setups (99's and very early C900 with the 8V B201 engines), but I can't see it working on a 900 with the double belts.


you may just have to try it. You might find that during high electrical load the single belt slips.
