Alternator Restoration Service (1 Viewer)

If there’s any interest, I’m offering alternator restoration services for those wanting to retain their stock alternator.

Backstory...

I was looking for an alternator for @JTU’s ‘69 40, and could only find new aftermarket units that all seemed to looked out of place. After calling around, I found an armature shop that rebuilds them.

When I got his alternator back, and put the pulley and fan back on that I refinished, I couldn’t believe my eyes. This looked perfect in the clean engine bay. It looked fresh, but not too new. Still had the character of an original unit.

Before:

After:

These get blasted clean, have new bearings and brushes installed, and receive fresh paint on the fan and pulley.

@dnp was so impressed with the transformation that he thought I should extend the service to others and graciously donated a few FJ60 cores he had laying around.

That nudge sent me on the hunt for some more cores...

I picked up this beauty from @cruiserjunktion

Seriously gross. It looks like he pulled it out of a salt water swamp :lol:

However, it came out looking like a million bucks. There’s obviously some pitting in the fan and pulley from its life in the swamp, but it was a night and day transformation. It was practically frozen up before, but now it works like new.
