Thanks stardog thats a good price but Id have to wait about a week for postage (mrs needs the truck for work)........ a mate is picking up for me today :hitachi 12volt 80 amp ALT7055R-80 in darwin.
I have tried a little problem solving today:
- removed pwr steer/AC belts, ran motor & glimmer sound still there
- removed clutch fan & tightened nuts on water pump pulley, ran motor & glimmer sound still there
- removed fan/alt belt & ran motor glimmer sound gone.
So its got to be either the alternator which doesnt look old or the water pump?
so i removed both. BURSONs in darwin have a water pump for $100 which my mate should pick up today
Heres a weird one : when ran the motor with the fan/alt belt off the alternator pulley was slowley turning clockwise
will post some pics up later..
