I found a "worked-when-removed" alternator in my alternator pile that I think will fit the Metro. It came off the Swift GT pars car I scrapped last year after we yanked the engine out for use in an airplane.

The guy who took the engine didn't want the old alternator... go figure!

I'll put it in this weekend.
