I just got this alternator from a Porsche salvage company (not 928INTL). I spotted it on an engine for sale that was down a cylinder and they agreed to sell the alternator by itself.

Here are some pics. It is a Bosch alternator and it appears to have the same billet cover as Greg's. I think it is one of his. Does anyone know for sure?

The harness that came with it appears home made. The connector that plugs into the back of the alternator only has one pin. Is this correct or is there a wire missing?
