Wheres this alternator from?

[azzfox]

I will be needing to replace my alternator in the near future if a new voltage regulator doesnt fix the voltage spikes that happened to kill 3 out of 4 of my high beams which Im not too happy about, because they were 'cool blue' globes and not very old. But anyway, my alternator has an internal fan just like an ecotec alternator but with buick mounts. Now Ive never seen such thing on a buick, and I cant find any on ebay that look like it. All the ones Ive come across are the square looking things with external fan which isnt very appealing to the human eye.

Any ideas?

Ah right cheers. Well I just impulse bought that alternator. Ive had this problem before on our VP and swapping regs diddnt fix it so Ill save any stuffing around and cut straight to the chase. Because night driving sucks out here without high beams. At the moment with the single high beam its equivalent to a dolphin torch strapped to the front of the car . Not risking putting in new globes just yet.

Yeah i just pulled one off a vr, and it works fine on my s1vn so you should be safe!
