[Shotimes] Alternator rebuild parts

[Ian Fisher]

Autozone doesn't sell chrome powdercoated alternators
the last time I checked. =)

It really doesn't cost that much to rebuild an
alternator either. It's one of those DIY jobs that you
can be proud of if done correctly.

FWIW, I now have my alt. case halves back and they
masked and plugged all of the important stuff. I'm not
too worried about it working properly once it's all
back together. Now that it's been apart, it doesn't
seem to difficult to rebuild if I need to do so in the
future.
