Go B&C and move on to other problems- 'cause you wont have this one any more
I just sold my 1990 Glasair III. i had 25 years and 2100 hours on my original B&C alternator. I asked them if I should send it in when I overhauled my engine at 1800 hours, and they said they'd be glad to look at it, but would probably just clean it and send it back. They've seen units need no work at 3000 hours!
Good product, great people! |

Mine was mounted using the Van's provided bracket. Not sure if that is the same as the PP. I used steel spacers and washer to get my pulley alignment. In the end, I wound up fabricating (cutting/welding) my old generator bracket as I thought the Van's was too thin and flimsy. I have an old case without the alternator boss. Larry |
Well, my latest PP 60A alternator failure was not an "alternator" failure per se, but a failure of the PP supplied pin. The pin fractured from vibration because it was not supported with the connector system bellows/seal or anything else. Luckily, I had ordered a spare connector, pins, and bellows per the above vendor and was able to crimp on a new pin. I have backfilled the other pins with RTV to provide support since I couldn't put the bellows/seal on an already terminated wire.
Recommend you pot your connector wires with RTV if you haven't already. ![]() |
Here is a list of parts for the Plane Power 60A alternator.
This are my best guesses. I have not ordered anything except the connector, but these look close! Buy at your own risk, but if you do verify, please post the part that did fit and work. Thanks. Plane Power 60A Alternator Rectifier: INR737 $39.95 >>> this seems to work. Fits, but has a shorter terminal. Unfortunately, I had a broken stator wire at the rectifier screw. INR724 $39.95 >>> may also work. Has the longer terminal that matches the PlanePower length. Regulator IN257 ? $49.95 Bearing: 61014 ???

Interesting Video
Don't get dizzy - -
Here is a video of the Paseo alternator dissemble (partial) and it has a link to a components supplier. As best as I can tell (not having purchased one) the size, clocking, and mounts are the same as the Plane Power EI60. Clearly the VR internals are different. Note the radial screws where the stator wire connect. A point of failure so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5-SEjjgfWQ |
