Default alternator help

I know I am in Eastern Canada but my dealer can't find an alternator for my 03 Z06 in Canada and is having problems locating one in the US.

I sold my Porsche as service was unavailable where I am and now I find the GM parts for the Z are not all that available either.

Anyone know what aftermarket units would be compatible?

Like the car but I haven't had it for a week!

There not that hard to find, you dealer must be crazy. GM must be crazy as well cuz the price is $529.38, however, if you want one, I'd be happy to send out one to you for $380 plus shipping. Yep, brand spankin' new and from GM.

I will plug for JASON! If he says has a part and says it's NEW and the one you need,,,,, his word is good as GOLD! If thats the route you want to take to get the part, you will NOT be sorry!

Good people!!!!
