If you can get hold of an EL alt you use the body of your EA unit and change the gizzards over . I have done this for myself and other Ford users

hahah was gonna ask the same question.
some new jap and euro cars the ecu tells it when to charge, but not on 12year old aussie cars.

the bosch alternators on ea's were 85A so if you can source one, that will work better. try to source a smaller pulley for it too and it will spin faster, therefore charge better at low rpm with load.

There nothing dramatic in swappoing the gizzards over just make sure they are both the same make ie Bosch not Mitsabishi. I usually replace the bearings at this time just to make sure of a lasting c/o. Remove the regulator first and and add last , don't want to damage brushes
