I had the alternator to my PORSCHE rebuilt rather than replacing it with an unknown quality alternator.
Thanks, that does look interesting.

Did you have your Porsche alternator done by them?

BTW, I've got an alternator from my '85 911 sitting on the shelf in my garage waiting to be rebuilt. When it failed I did not have time to get it done right so I just bought a new one. But I saved the original as a core to get rebuilt properly one day. That was about 15 years ago. ;-)
