Unhelpful response is unhelpful. The only part that I see in the search is for the early alternators.

Use the SEARCH feature on this web site. Set it to PARTS and search for "alternator" to options.

I'm finally pulling out the compressor and ran into issues with my alternator. Am I able to buy the pulley separate from the alternator?

What were you looking for? I have the whole thing for sale right now so my priority is keeping it together.

Some AC spec cars have the coil over the plugs and the alt mounted high. I'd be interested in the mounts perhaps a trade. Steve (CTR)

Yes you will need the mounting pillar and nuts and washers as well. I could not find it under the number you quoted but you probably need the A + one which is CAM4853.

What about the alternator bracket pillar? Is that the same part as what I would have?

You will need the lower curved adjustment bracket also. You could also change your alternator pulley to the single one as fitted to the UK cars. The other Mini markets without a/c had the coil mounted on the front left side of the cylinder head but depending on which a/c is fitted and whether your car is carbed or injected it may or may not work. I have seen others mount their coil on the clutch housing and with a home made bracket on the alternator or on the inner fender, remember the less vibration a coil has to endure the better.

I'm in the process of removing the A/C from my mini. Do I need to also replace the alternator, or can I just relocate it to the lower position?
If I'm able to relocate, do I just need this bracket, or is there something else I need to do?

Also, my coil is sitting in front of my engine now, and is partially obstructing my plugs. Is there a standard coil bracket that I can swap in?
