In NC we have DC automotive that has used alternators.
I was tempted to get one to test and install if good and rebuild the current one as spare. Has anyone had luck getting a chain to bench test? Also what alternator is it? I.e., what would I search for matching rectifier and brush parts? I checked some threads and didn't find any successful tests or repair attempts. |

And one in the classifieds NOW as well (free referral @euro911 who is a stellar guy!) http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=367903 And those, Gentlemen, I believe are GM alternators. I'm going to figure out which GM alternator and copy that. I wish @pnewman would let us know what he used IF he is really not going to build anymore... If he's still in production he should keep his secrets to himself. Just seeing it I know I can figure it out... I will keep my findings to myself if pnewman's still building. I'm not planning on getting into the 914 supplier world... You can have custom GM alternators built to far greater amperage than 160 nowdays. The HUGE BASS radio crowd demands it! IMO 160 is all you should ever need in a 914 (unless maybe you're running electric AC...) Now, for stock stuff an old school alternator shop is the ticket. I have a pretty good one 20 miles away in Cleburne with an AWESOME road to get there... If I'm adding power suckers to the car I'd want to make the jump to GM... |
