Starter rebuid & Alternator IF possible

[rockfla]

Any "go to" recommendations on a Starter rebuild? ALSO - "ASKING for a friend" can/anyone have an Alternator repaired??? Its for an 'obscure" vehicle, he had bought an extra NOS one and it was "stolen" SO now he's left with ONLY the "original" one that needs repair. Thanks in advance

Electric shops can test and rebuild alternators (i.e. bearings, dioodes, etc). Shops and some individuals do starer rebuilds/fixes. If buying a rebuilt, have an electric shop test it before installation - sometimes they are faulty over the counter,

What about user "ndnchf" on this forum? He seems to specialize in early Ford stuff and does them correctly. I don't know about the alternator. It sounds like it may be a special case as well.

He only does Generators last time I asked him. Stunning work.

I had a fellow in Laramie WY rebuild for me. He did a great job and has done this kind of work all of his life. He has contacts for all parts. You can contact him at -- tagebenson@yahoo.com

If the obscure is domestic then repair parts will likely be available. If it's obscure foreign then good luck. Anything can be repaired if a person can source parts. Making parts can be a challenge.

It's a Bosch of an early 80's Mercedes Benz G Wagon...I think I located a shop here local that specializes in the import job alternators SO well see. Thanks all that have responded so far!!!
