VP or VR alternator will not fit ecotec V6. Mounts and wiring plug is different.

We're talking about brushes within an alternator and not swapping actual units aren't we ???

VN-VR V6 and VN-VS V8 alternators all share the same reg/brushes. Ecotec is different I believe.
The VR and VS V6 reg and brush assy it the same apart from the wiring plug connector is different.
Have put VR reg assy into the VS ecotec alternator when doing an engine swap ecotec into VR.
