Bennet of Iron Horse spares aka SQ4 club spares has had some made for his alternator conversions. There is a number for it but I can't think of it

Assuming that you have loosened the clamp, and removed the screw, beneath the clamp; if it's there - not fitted to later models.
I would suggest clamping the alloy casting, lightly in a vice, with rag.
Heat it with a hot air gun, and twist the distributor body with a strap wrench, until it frees off.
