Alternator finally shines!

Well, I finally took the alternator apart and polished it. It was nowhere near as hard as I thought to get back together. I spent about 3.5 hours taking it apart, polishing and reassembling. Thanks for all your input on getting those brushes back in - a paper clip is really handy!

Looks good, nice work!

Looks great, Don!!!!

Thanks guys!!! The only things left on the motor to polish are the lower intake and the timing cover. I think I'll pass on trying to do the lower...I'll just buy one. It would take me too much time. Now I gotta get my ass out to Alabama and run her!!! Anyway, good to hear from you Brian! Where the hell have you been?

Been busy with stuff around the house, wedding planning, and other stuff. Kind of got out of the online boards for a couple months, but I'm going to try and get back on here more regularly.
