Alternator job isn't fun, and is wosre when its 110+ degrees so I procrastinated on doing a cooling mod until now. Stocker made it 40k, Ebay 160 about 3k. I have a spare waiting for when it goes again.
The regulator is about 4" from the exhaust port #5. This is an unhappy place to be. I added a heat shield between the Alt and exhaust, above the oil filter. The shield uses the forward bolt hole and is located between the 2 holes
First I made a template out if flashing, then transfered to 1/8" aluminum.

3" Duct from left fog light vent goes to the lower left front side of the alternator to feed it cooler air.
