[Tigers] Generator Issue

[Stu]

When I first got the Tiger out this spring, I commented to my daughter that
I was surprised that it seemed to be running fine, She said See?  You
shouldn't  be so pessimistic.  I replied that though it's running fine now,
it's just because it has yet to reveal how it's going to GET me this year.

Well, Sunday it did.  Coming back from a little drive, I could clearly hear
some extra clattering coming from under  the hood.  A quick listen with the
hood up seemed to lay the blame with the generator, but we had people
coming shortly, no time to check more.  A confirmation drive this evening
confirmed it.   Once warmed up, the generator gets real noisy.  It is
generating just fine, I have both a voltmeter and an ammeter to prove it.

The current generator is a rebuilt unit I got from Napa in 2010 ( It's
actually the second from then, the first having a brush shatter after just
a couple hundred mules).  But I only have a few thousand miles on it since
then.

I want to buy a replacement and swap the core.  Rock Auto claims to have
them (look under old Mustangs), but are there any other sources that you
guys could recommend?  I have events I want to drive it to on June 24/25 so
I need quick service.

Thanks

Stu
