Looking for a source of alternator parts

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

www.mcmaster.com is also a source.
When I went through alternator rebuild hell last October I bought the bearings there.
Take a look at 5972K55 and 5972K42
I pretty sure those are the right bearings, but check the sizes to make sure.

As for the rebuilt alternator I got from Autozone? Well, the housing had been damaged and the pulley end bearing was a loose fit, so some jackass took a center punch and dimpled the housing surface to tighten things up. Still sounded like a bucket of bolts. Not to mention the fucked up threads on the shaft. Ended up using my old housing and rotating assembly with the rebuilt diode plate.
Had to rebuild the rebuilt to use it.
Pathetic!

Time to find a new rebuilder.  I had a local guy rebuild mine for $60.  He even cleaned it up really nice and painted the pulley.  100% better than a rebuild junk unit from your FLAPS.  Next to the old Delco "CS" style alternator, the Bosch is pretty generic, with most models being exactly the same inside.

The local rebuilder couldn't rebuild the alternator for the '88.  A bearing 
is bad and he
said it damaged the case.  Ok.  Well I happened to be looking at it the 
other day(checking
it against one on ebay) and noticed all of the screws look like they have 
never been off.
So I take it apart and he never even took it apart and the case is 
fine.  So if I can get new
bearings I will replace them, otherwise I will just buy a rebuilt.  The 
alternator in question
is a 90a Bosch.
