Loved the Carry since I saw it on MCM, jumped on the opportunity to work on one, just a farm ute not registered still a cool little unit you don't see every day you know. So I'm working on it

It needs some love, Biggest thing is it doesn't have an alternator at all, I have found a heap of G13BB ribbed belt alternators 1999-2005 so I'm just going to have to work out which one it is, I have measured the space it has to go in, but I'm not seeing a lot of dimensions in listings, So I'm going to trial an error it, I know that's going to give Repco the shits, but it's in the name of science.

I'm going to start with the:https://www.repco.com.au/parts-service/electrical-parts-vehicle-management/alternators/oex-alternator-12v-130a-denso-style-dxa590/p/A9449815?rgfeed=true&cid=google-shopping&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&region_id=100338&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiApOyqBhDlARIsAGfnyMo4miVyH4dltw9Z2PrVcVl3wcxLw04UT8jIG-CfoZRjafNYe5abby0aAo3MEALw_wcB

It's Denso unit, the mounting brackets look pretty right so that's what I'm trying first and it's probably the cheapest one. Bonus that Repco have them so not far to go to return it if it's no good.

The battery still wont charge because it never goes very far so I'll fit a solar panel to it and trickle charge it. Last thing is the rear windscreen which I'm going to do out of UV2 polycarbonate. Just because the price is right and it would help if it was weather sealed. I know I'll find more problems as I go.

I just wanted to document the process just in case someone else ever needs the info, couldn't find anything very helpful so I thought I would make it.

Edit file sizes for my images are all to big so I'll have to edit them down to post them which I'll do tomorrow.

I assuming there is sufficient similarity between the carry G13BB and the Jimny G13BB I would strongly recommend the EF/EL alternator upgrade. It will be cheaper than finding the correct G13BB alternator and will be better suited to a car that's driven for short periods sporadically.


The link you posted is 100% NOT for a G13BB. A) it's 130A and B) the mounts are in the wrong spot. (I also not with interest a user review which states it isn't the right part and isn't even close)
