Yeah exactly and the more I read about Iraggi, the more I started to think about avoiding him.
Anyways I just received an answer from Mechman:

I see why it has been so hard for you to find one now. That is a very strange front cover arrangement, and would require us to build an adapter bracket for an all together different alternator to go in it’s place. We can do this, but we would need exact measurements of the mounting ears on the alternator, hole sizes, distance between the holes, etc… Adapter brackets add an additional $99 to the price.
Another option that might work better for you, would be for us to build up a “universal” 250 amp alternator designed for a dual alternator setup. We make them very compact (only 6” from the front of the pulley to the rear of the cover) so that they are easier to fit to cramped engine compartments. We also build them using a very simple regulator that only requires a single wire to turn the alternator on and off. (very easy to wire in without touching any of the existing wiring) This unit would only be $399, and you could just find someone locally to make a bracket to mount it on the engine.

So my best bet would be, like the man said, to use a dual alternator setup. Anything I should take in consideration? Or will this be safe?
