Having survived the Okey cokey of engine swapping, I've tracked down the irritating, and potentially terminal, rattley grinding noise to the alternator. A decision needs to be made soonerrather than lalater. Discussion, please.....

Get it rebuilt, usual cost about £350, otherwise it's bound to fail on the road if it's rustling and grinding.

Try these. I have been to their workshops and they specialise (they tell me) in older vehicle parts.

Thanks for the advice....
On the basis of "working with what you've got", I've discovered another CAV which is less rattley, but with a broken cage. Our local wizard is going to rebuild them, which will be nice if that's as successful as last year's starter motors.....
