[6pack] Alternator: Moss or TRF...or other

[Dave More]

If you want to do a no hassle swap then the best route is probably a stock
replacement. While TRF, Moss, and others offer them they are typically priced
with a refundable core, I.e. send them your old one. While I haven't dealt
with them directly BNRParts has an eBay store at
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251073803410?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.h
tml%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D251073803410%26_rdc%3D1 and they offer a rebuilt
Lucas with no core charge at the same "core less" charge as the others. Might
be worth checking out.

Cheers,
Dave
