Hi All

I have this alternator that came with my Rust Bucket. I would like to keep it as a spare for my 77 Resto (if it still works ok). How do I check it out of the car?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Eiles

Any alternators that i have wanted checked i take them to an Auto Electrician that's not far from me, they have a machine that they can put them on and run them up and check them , they usually only charge me $5 to check them .

It looks like a clubbie alternator , do you know anyone with a mini that is running the same type ?, you could put it on their car and check the voltage with a multi-meter :idea: .

I have a Machine "Test Bench" for testing Alternators. It is much quicker than fitting it to a car and I can do tests on it that you can not perform on a Car. Like loading the crap out of the Alternator to see what it's maximum output is. Charging $5 to test is fair as this machine is worth over $10,000. to buy .

$5 is very reasonable for peace of mind.

Thanks CM

I would like a couple of generators tested here in Sydney......pretty sure it'll be a lot more than $5.....

Anyone recommend anyone who could test them in the north of Sydney?
