Default 2wd alternator where from ?

After changing my alternator on my 2wd sapphire and would like a 90 amp but where do I get it from ?

I see Burton show one but it says no longer available and don't want to replace with the unheard of £50 items on eBay as good or not I not sure I would trust one that's half the price of what I would expect one to cost.

Just the same as any high spec model (or Granada) what makes you want to replace it?

Took it off yesterday to clean it up and add the updated alternator to battery cable and it's full of black oily dust inside it plus the 8mm nut with the cable for the battery light turns the thread in the housing and will not undo so thought as I've just fitted new loom and management plus updated all other battery and earth cables I would replace it.
