Is the gear on the alternator still available with the correct number of teeth new? I've got a nos cup gear, but need the other yet.

My s60 has a belt drive beast on the side. I think it's a 50dn but I'm not really sure

From experience, and not opinion:  The bearings in that alt adaptor will fail before the alt bearings and also the alt should have the rear support installed in case it is not on there.
