My alternator failed in flight yesterday. Finally the weather up here in Canada warmed up enough for me to get out. Now this delay
I pulled the alternator off. There is a broken mounting bracket (see pict) that likely caused the alternator to vibrate and the bearings to fail. I need to buy a new one but no one seems to know what type of alternator this is and where to get one. A fella told me it was an INTERAV alternator but I can't reach them, I can't get a hold of the previous owner, there is no Data Plate and there are no notations in the log books.
So off to VAF my favorite source of info. I want to find one and get it up here by the weekend so I can go fly again. I don't care what it costs. Here are some picts. Do you have one sitting around in your garage ??
Thanks,
Darren
