ranger7703 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hey everyone, I'm looking at a V8 snatch to buy but it is missing an alternator and battery's.. First question is what alternator and battery's does it use? Second.. How hard is the alternator to fit? Many thanks all David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 David, There are Snatches with 1 alternator and Snatches with 2. Does it have the TUAMM brackets on the wings? If not, 1 alternator is all it needs. Mine was fitted with a standard 45ah battery which charged up after about 30 mins of running. I thought I had photos of both types, but aparently not!

sirhc Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 You can see the 2 types in this photo... One has no TUAMM mounts, the other has electronic countermeasures fitted on the TUAMM mounts. If an alternator is missing, it shouldn't be too hard to find and fit one. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger7703 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks.. yea it's got the mounts on the wings.. When I get the wagon delivered I'm sure I'll be able to confirm if it's 12 or 24v I only hope it's not a big job to fit the alternators. I'm not very technically minded but I'm sure I'll learn fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Fitting an alternator should be easy if the brackets are there. The second alternator is just for the 2 batteries under the drivers seat, the rest of the vehicle will be 12v so you'll be able to get it running and driving even if the other alternator is missing.

ranger7703 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 That sounds good.. As long as I can get her running its all that matters at the min.. I won't be running any ECM so the other battery's won't be needed.. Yet Thanks for you help on this, once I get it hopefully it won't take much to get it up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
