300+ hours on a modified NAPA GOLD14684N with internal modification from Kitplanes article.
www.kitplanes.com
Alternator now (new from NAPA) is $145 plus about 2 hours of mods. Mod is reversible and would take about 30 minutes to swap into a new alternator with a screwdriver. Get a replacement at an auto parts store anywhere you'll ever fly. This would be called the "experimental" route.
Or pay more $ somewhere else.
