172 Cup Alternator Setup -- Fitting a 75A Alternator instead of 110A alternator ?

[D1CKY]

I have recently got my hands on a 172 Cup alternator setup

The alternator on my 172 is 110A and has different mounting points/holes.

Due to this i need a 172 Cup alternator.

Would fitting the 172 cup alternator cause me any issues battery wise etc since its has a lower amperage rating than what the car came with as standard.

172 Cup Alternator = 75A
172FF Alternator = 110A

I'm pretty sure it's only a higher power rating to run the air con system - which you're removing anyway

Plenty of people on here have fitted cup alternators and brackets without issues
