Graham,
Just a great thank -you for all the alternator info, yes I do nearly have a
garage full of reconditioned alternaters, well 4 that are 100% and 2 that
just don't seem to understand what they should be doing!!
I do need a good supply as I now have five 2000's if you would like to know
all about them I have a brand new website http://www.mytriumphs.ic24.net/
for the full story. Dave with his "why has an orange got dimples like a golf
ball?" and my "Ethel said has anybody seen my little Willie" seem to have
sparked a little bit of life back into this listing, but we both think
something is not quite right as we still both have postings 'lost in space'
there must be a very large pile somewhere.
All The Best
Mike
