This unit is listed as a 12V, 120A Bosch passenger alternator with a Double Pivot Lever fastening type, and it is specifically marked as excl. vacuum pump, so the mounting style and vacuum pump arrangement need to match the existing application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe charge current rating is 120A, so this is the key electrical specification to compare against the original unit. Do not rely on appearance alone; alternators can look similar while differing in mounting, output rating, or accessory arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe packaging dimensions are 23.9 x 20 x 20, which may be useful if you are checking storage, freight, or workshop intake.
