And your statement about used ones being a gamble is very much correct, even applies to rebuilt. I checked two different rebuilder's websites, and they replace bearings and brushes, resurface the old slip rings, and retain the electronics if they check good. I'd like to identify one that fits, is easily rebuildable, and has complete parts availability (brushes, slip rings, bearings, regulator, rectifier). Paul | Why don't you check this site? They have all the parts available. Call them up to verify accuracy of parts. Valeo alternator parts: http://www.aspwholesale.com/alternator-parts/valeo.html The Bosch is on my car right now. No time to peek and get the PN. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 |
