 Re: Alternator id please
While your checking the electrics, you'd better do something about that 25 amp fuse too. Is it in a circuit that should have a 10amp or a 16amp? Either way, fitting a fuse that has a higher amp rating than the circuit it's protecting is a potential fire hazard. Also, what's going on with the heater hoses?: they look as is they're crossing over each other!
Edit: I've just looked it up: That yellow circuit fuse should be 10amp, (blue 16amp, red 10amp).

 Re: Alternator id please
Are you sure the brushes on that alternator should be fed by the remote regulator I think on that particular alternator it should be fed by a live wire through a bulb and then connected to the brush pack... I would pull the existing brush pack wire off put the bulb feed in and try that

If it's the same chap, I bought my good 2cv from him in 2011, he was a bit of an enthusiast to say the least but honest. Surname T******n. I can't imagine that alternator bodge is his work!
