OEX Alternator 12V 105A Autolite Style Pad Mount AXA974
The OEX Alternator AXA974 is a 12V, 105A unit built in Autolite style with a pad mount arrangement and internal regulator. It suits applications that require a 6 groove pulley, 175mm mount centre to centre, and 76mm inside mounting legs, so the physical mounting details matter as much as the electrical rating.
This alternator is a new unit, sold each, and carries part number AXA974. Key dimensions include a 64mm pulley outside diameter, 13mm adjusting hole diameter, 13mm pivot hole diameter, and 55mm mount leg thickness. At 6.06kg, it is a substantial rotating electrical component, so matching the unit correctly before installation is important.
OEX lists this alternator under rotating electrical and states that its products are sourced from ISO9001 certified factories, with a comprehensive warranty backing. The warranty on this unit is 3 years for passenger use and 1 year for commercial use, which is useful to confirm before purchase if the vehicle is used in a work environment.

Fitment guidance
- No verified vehicle fitment list is supplied in the product facts, so confirm application by part number AXA974 and the physical mounting details before ordering.
- Check that the replacement alternator is Autolite style, pad mounted, 12V, 105A, and uses a 6 groove pulley.
- Confirm the mounting measurements: 76mm inside mounting legs, 175mm mount centre to centre, 55mm mount leg thickness, and 13mm pivot and adjusting hole diameters.
- If you are matching by vehicle, compare the existing alternator against the listed dimensions and regulator type rather than relying on appearance alone.
Application and Buying Notes
When replacing an alternator, the key checks are electrical output, mounting style, pulley configuration, and regulator type. For this unit, the important identifiers are 12V, 105A, Autolite style, pad mount, internal regulator, and AXA974, because these are the details that separate a correct match from a similar-looking unit.
The 6 groove pulley and 64mm pulley outside diameter need to line up with the existing belt system. If the pulley section does not match, the belt may not run correctly even if the alternator physically bolts up. The 175mm mount centre to centre and 76mm inside mounting legs are also critical measurements for fit.
The mounting holes are 13mm for both the pivot and adjusting points, and the mount leg thickness is 55mm. Those figures are worth comparing against the removed alternator or vehicle bracket before purchase, especially where the previous part may have been replaced with a different style unit.
Warranty terms differ between passenger and commercial use, with 3 years for passenger and 1 year for commercial. If the vehicle is used in a commercial setting, it is sensible to confirm how the warranty applies to your application before fitting, particularly on higher-use vehicles where alternator load can be more demanding.
Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.
For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number AXA974 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

OEX Alternator 12V 105A Autolite Style. Part number AXA974 should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 105. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.
Mount style is Pad. Regulator type is Internal. Pulley configuration is 6 Groove. Those physical and electrical details should line up with the original unit before the replacement is approved for fitment.
For part number AXA974, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.
For a alternator in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 105 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.
Available application references include FORD FIESTA, FORD FIESTA 2004, FORD FIESTA 2005, FORD FIESTA 2006. Even with application listings, final confirmation should still be based on the exact unit being replaced and the service requirements of the vehicle or machine.
Compatibility note: Confirm fitment using part number AXA974 and the listed mounting and pulley measurements before ordering. No vehicle-specific fitment should be assumed unless it matches the alternator style, voltage, amperage, regulator type, and mounting dimensions shown here.
