There are lots of different sellers, the cheapest I saw for a 2004 to 2014 model was $11.28 + GST; but I am going for the one above because it is in Australia so will ship by 25 January

I’ve seen ‘sealed’ water cooled units for 79 Series LC’s, dunno if there’s something similar for our rigs.

No mate. I don't even have a snorkel so I tend to avoid water at all costs. I do live in a pretty dusty environment, though and spend a bit of time on dirt roads. My auto electrician tells me the alternator clutch failed this time. Maybe the combination of dust, and all the moisture we've had recently caused issues? It was during the crazy rain when I started it up and I could hear the clutch making noise all of a sudden. Then it failed the next day.
My only other theory is that I have a pretty big power system which could be putting too much stress on the alternator? I have 2 batteries under the bonnet that the alternator charges. The aux is linked via a Redarc SBI12 solenoid. Then I have 2 deep cycle batteries in the canopy that are linked to the alternator via a Ctek D250S DC-DC charger. But I also have a permanent 250w solar panel feeding the Ctek, so I would have that that would take a lot of the pressure off the alternator.
I have no idea what else it could be.
