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

QUOTE(emerygt350 @ Sep 2 2025, 06:31 PM)  I don't think I have ever heard of numbers matching alternators, and for a moment before I sent mine in I was attached to it but then I noticed that it was remanufactured too. 50 years on, it is unlikely the alternator in your car is original. The best thing you can do is have someone who cares and is good at it rebuild one for you. Thanks Bob- I'll check them out. And I know the alternator is original as I've had the car since new... |
