Might ask Wishno or Dahows (David,) I know they both parted out an M10 car each, sometime last year.

holy crap, 5toes you are good for something after all :D

thank you guys! I have a m20 alternator and double checked the part numbers with real oem :up:

Sorry, no m10 parts (except for a bosal exhaust) or spare alternators.

Worth a try anyway, thanks toes.

No problem - I sold a local an m20 alternator for his m10 car and it worked fine for him too!
