think I'm going to get an autozone alternator and rebuild my gen 1 and keep as a spare. thanks a lot!!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
One on left does not look like an isolated ground alternator.okay, I bought a DL7157 alternator at auto zone (on the left in picture), I have a dumb question, where is the post for the ground? and do you need it? I have the gen 1 alternator out (on right in picture)
Here is a thread on how to rebuild your alternator with pictures.Guys I know this is an old one but my drivers side alt has just gone do you have any new recommendations of where to buy a new one? Ps I'm in the UK so will need to get it shipped over here as well.

Probably your best choice. Local is good. Just make sure they understand about the isolated ground.Cheers guys I've opted for the alt rebuild by a local company hopefully this does the trick!
I'm resurrecting this old thread 'cause I need some extra infos.
One of my alts is dead beyond repair, the guy at the repair shop said the rotors windings are gone, broken somewhere inside.
The other alt is still working but shows signs of age, has been rebuilt abt 2 years ago and from then I have to rev engine a little bit at starting to turn off the gen light.
This said, I think the best insurance is buying a set of two new alts.
Reading here, I have been on Odiron website and they have 2 alts listed, #321744 (100A) and #321744-150A.
It would be nice to upgrade to the 150A one, but from the website description it's not clear if the 150A has insulated ground or not (maybe not and can be used only for gen1 ??)
Anybody knows if the 150A version has insulated ground and can be used for both alts?
I want to keep both alts identical for emergency swapping purpose (been there, done that...)
