    Fender Brace Piece

    Posted

    Rodney, are you talking about this? Find another fender to use or find a fender that these braces arent rotted out & cut them off & tranfer them to your fender.

    Yes Cory that's exactly what I'm talking about. My cousin fixed the outer panel of the fender and the brace was ate up on one of them. I really don't need a whole fender.

    ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY HELP NEEDED!!

    I think Rod hit it. There are 2 spacers. One behind the fan and one following the front bearing retainer. Tightening the fan nut in front places no bind on the rear of the unit. You can remove the rear housing via the four screws and the front housing and bearing assembly remains just as tight. The stator floats in the rear housing where the brushes are.
    Looking at the diagram that Rod provided there appears to be three spacers. There is one under the fan and another under the bearing retainer, then there is one at the bottom of the lower housing. I only have two spacers. I have tried to put one at the bottom and the other under the fan. It binded. Then I tried to put one under the fan and behind the retainer and it binded. I am at a standstill right now. I am going to try and get a third spacer. I remember taking a spacer with all the other stuff to get chromed. I think it got misplaced. Will post my results when I get the third spacer.

    I was taught to "scribe" a mark PRIOR to taking it apart so the top and bottom case go back into the correct relationship like they were. Were the three diodes removed? It sort of looks like they are still in the rear half of the case. I don't remember the procedure but you should check them. Also I cracked the rear case installing the new bearings. I didn't support the inside and pounded too hard. I think I took a photo journal if I can only find it.

    I left the three diodes intact. Thanks Bruce!! You are the photo journal man!!

    Did you take any pix while disassembling it? That usually helps a lot. If I was closer I would help you as I used to build and rebuild them for GM.
    No I didn't take ahy pictures. I didn't think it would take so long to get done. I'm going to give it a shot from memory, but I was hoping someone had some instructions.
