Bob,

Mechman only uses stock cases, admittedly aftermarket versions but dimensionally stock. The only way they could make a 'larger' alternator is they sent you a Gen 3 case unit for a Gen 6 case application. If you order the same generation alt case as OEM (In your case Gen 6) then it will not only be the same size it will bolt up where the OEM alt did.

Somebody is misleading you.
