Looking for a source of alternator parts

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

Most larger towns have a bearing supply.  Odds are you can take the old 
bearings in and get replacements.
Worth a try.

I used to buy alternator rebuilding kits for GM alternators containing new 
bearings, brushes and voltage regulators.  Like $12.   Haven't seen them in 
years, but an alternator is pretty generic, actually.  Might be worth a call 
to NAPA....
Good luck.
