REFLECTOR: Alternator??

[Keith Hallsten]

TEC,

 

I went with the B&C - they aren't cheap, but their outstanding reputation
for reliability and customer service made it worth it for me.  Another
alternative is Plane Power, which seems to be developing a good reputation.

Subject: REFLECTOR: Alternator??

 

I have been running an Alternator I picked up on the way to Oshkosh when
mine gave out over Wyoming in 98.  It is an auto unit I got at an auto shop
and has worked fine since.  I am having a shearing problem with the center
most boss mounting bolt.  I have been using a grade 8.  Anyway, the weight
of the current Alternator and it's location is probably causing vibrations
that have opened up the boss bracket's holes slightly, allowing movement and
shearing of the bolt.

 

I want to replace the Alternator with a newer-lighter one and of course,
make a new boss bracket to align the new Alternator.  I have a linear
voltage regulator and need input as to the greatest, latest alternator
without, or disconnected internal voltage regulator.  40 amp and up should
work fine as I have steam gauges.

 

When I got back from Oshkosh in 98, I called B&C and told the gentleman what
I had (auto, rebuilt for who knows) and I would like to purchase on of
theirs.  He politely told me that while he would love to sell me one of his,
if what I have is working fine, to call him when it craps out.  I thought I
would check with you guys first. 

 

Thanks for the help.

TEC
