Hi Folks.
Looks like the bridge rectifier on my alternator is acting up. If I can't find someone locally, where is the best place to buy an alternator now? I checked Jerry's and Haibeck, but neither has them listed. And as I used to sell parts for a living, I'm not too thrilled about the quality of most of the off the shelf, hi volume rebuilders.

What about Rockauto.com?

Definitely an option, especially with their killer pricing and fast shipping. But as there are many options, I'd love to get some feedback on which is the best, or worst!

Or is there another I should be looking at?

Alternators are pretty easy to rebuild.

Jeff,

Are these the parts for a 200A alternator? I?ve got an alternator I can rebuild. It was blown due to harness connector plastic cracking allowing wiring to ground onto case.

They are for anything up to 200A
