I have a couple of spares and was thinking of getting one rebuilt. The local shop quoted $104.00 per hour for rebuild, I’m a CSOB the rock auto price of $55.00 is tempting. Anyone had good luck with the cheap option?

You will find LOTS of listings for 914 alternators UNTIL you try to buy one. Put one in the shopping cart and see what happens. Almost NLA or available at a stupid price.

always buy bosch, too many problems with aftermarket brands and the masses who are supposedly rebuilding them
