Someone posted about the tin recently but I have not seen further discussion.
I have a stock 2.0L alternator and round tin. Where can I get the round plastic ring the fits between them? I would like to get it new if possible because I have a new alternator and freshly powder coated tin. If that’s not available I would like to find a decent used one. Attached thumbnail(s) |

We had started the drawings for these but from a production standpoint didn’t think they would pencil out.
We could revisit but wouldn’t even have a sample for 6 weeks. Would that do you any good? $6-8 range |

Mark, I'm looking for the same piece if that makes a difference. I need one ASAP.

These are pretty easily done. most have been removed over time as they had gotten deformed. Not quite sure how a generic piece of rubber from a big box store would work well here, if at all. I know they do work without, but the question is how much extra heat is being carried and what does this do to output and lifespan?
I suspect there is more resistance due to some increased heat, and the lifespan may be shortened. The factory did almost everything for a reason and multiply this by 115,000 even a dollar per unit has a significant cost. So there must be a justification for them to make the part in the 1st place. |

Agreed, the factory wouldn’t spend time and money on something that serves no purpose. |

Mark, I need a couple and no hurry... our 73 1.7 is going in for rebuilding after 150K miles of flawless service (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). She still runs strong but I can’t take the oil leaking anymore.
