[Vwdiesel] 90A diesel alternator?

[Shawn Wright]

Ok, so from this and James' reply, it appears some diesels did get the 90A 
but the mount is different. That's what I was afraid of. For now I'll carry a 
spare 65A just in case, and look into making the 90A fit the 65A mounting 
system when I have time. Thanks.
I'll have to wander around the wrecker to see what a 90A bracket looks 
like...
