My first post as a member as I've exasperated all other options. Thank you all in advance should you decide to take a look into my issue.
My internally regulated alternator on my 1982 FJ60 stopped charging my battery. I was unsuccessful at finding one locally, so I ordered a new Altec one from Cruiser Corps (Cruiser Corps) as per their confirmation and recommendation. However, they sent me one with two pulleys when I have a single band system currently. The other issue is that single bands are also far wider. See two photos below.
Cruiser Corps says there's no error on their side and that I can just mount it and choose one of the pulleys (leaving one free) and have the wider band overlap the groove, but the mechanic I took it to says there's no chance I can do this. Also seems strange to me. See below photo of a customer that they said did this.
Secondly, the pulleys cannot be switched over because the shaft on each of the alternators are a different diameter (see above second photo).
So as an alternative the mechanic I took it to rebuilt my alternator, but they now say I need two extra parts to finish the job that I can't find anywhere:
1. Charging Light Relay OE: 27790-131010
2. Voltage Regulator OE: 27060-61011
So the question is:
1) Can I use this new alternator despite band thickness difference?
2) Any tips on where to find those other two parts?
Once again, very grateful for all your help!
