Best Place to Buy An Alternator - 2021 Edition
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.

Alternators are pretty easy to rebuild.

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.
