We are getting ready to head out for Ft. Myers, FL Thursday. One of the last things on my to do list was to change the oil in Sky Terrier. During the engine run to heat up the oil my Plane Power alternator picked that time to quit working. After considerable searching through the archives, I decided to replace my Plane Power alternator with a Lester 14870 model; simply because I can obtain one locally and still be ready to leave Thursday.
When buying the 14870 at O'Reilly's, the counter person helping me said I could take the internals from the new alternator and put them in the Plane Power case; even including pressing out the old bearing and putting the new one in the Plane power case. Has anyone tried this?
