Anyone know of a good place that has alternators for the 914?
every place I have checked doesn't have them. I took mine to get it rebuilt and the guys said the internals we so old and in bad shape it wasn't rebuildable. |

Any issues with work arounds on installing it or was it pretty much plug and paly? |

Any issues with work arounds on installing it or was it pretty much plug and paly? It looks just like the old Bosch one and bolted right in, no issues. It replaced a Bosch alternator that sat on a shelf for ~20 years, then died after about 2 miles of runtime. So - mileage-wise, it's been significantly more reliable than Bosch. |
