right it shouldn't run hot, warm maybe, well it's in the engine bay.
first thing that came to my mind was an electrical overload, looks like the electrical system is drawing more than the alternator can supply.
first thing to check is, is it the right amperage for the car? i would think that this is the problem..

New Battery, The alternator is new and sold to me as a 100 amp. Just daylight running (no Lights) and heater fan running the Alternator was too hot to touch so over 60 degrees C after about ten minutes. Just wondering if I should get on to the supplier and complain. Keeps the battery charged OK, Rev counter is waving around a bit, not steady as I think it should be.

might be a good idea to speak to the supplier.. get a replacement
somethings not right with it.
