I want to rebuild the alternator from my early '71 914- wondered what the options are and who have people here used?
TIA. |

Just my two cents,
I would definitely have it or one rebuilt as Bruce suggested. Last time I changed mine, not one, not two, but three times I had to change it out. All were remanufactured Bosch alternators and two of them were junk right out of the box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I guess the silver lining is I got faster at changing them. |
