An acquaintance was looking for an alternator a couple weeks ago and I suggested that if his were original I'd repair his rather than buy any "off the shelf" reman and he took his to a shop in the area and less than $25 he was out the door with an alternator repair. NOT a "rebuild" but a repair!
The bearings are very common and quality bearings can be purchased through most local bearing sources, there's cheap and there's quality. A kit that sells for the Amazon price and is in "multi-lingual" packaging has "other than quality" written all over it. There's quality bridge rectifiers and there are quality regulators also. I'd think I'd certainly shop and have a serious conversation before jumping on a "kit"!

Where would you recommend purchasing a kit and what kind?
I have a spare kit and like to rebuild it to OEM specs
Thanks!
