Alternator rebuild parts?? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Young1 · 12-31-2017

My alternator quit today during some spirited driving. Can someone provide me a part number and supplier for a rebuild kit for the slightly odd ball ZR one alternator? Years ago I would put in a new voltage regulator, brushes, diodes and whatever else I don't remember and repair them quite cheaply. I desire to get the correct high quality parts.

OP - Is your alternator on the bench yet? There's I believe only a couple internal variances between the builds. You can do 'just parts' as you're familiar with. I bought locally when I needed from a shop that did nearly all of the large fleets in the area. They used quality stuff. Component repairs have changed dramatically through the years so it's somewhat more difficult. CS144 is old.

If I knew the production number from yours I could give you maybe a correct list but I've used these people for one other fellow a couple years ago. He was happy. I don't use these guys for part # BUT only as the 'source'. I can generally supply you with good, better, best choices using a different catalog. I've sent you an email.

These guys are said to have good stuff also.

Generally everyone offers good, better and best alternatives.

You could maybe do well locally. That's always my first choice.

OP is back. I can testify that the car will run for 45 miles before you run out of battery and it quits. I now have the alternator on the bench. When I pulled it out it made Kling kitty clink sounds inside. Upon separation I found four pieces of Bakelite and a strip of copper. The connection between the rotor windings and the copper the brushes ride on came apart. Looks like I am going to a rebuilder to get the rotor repaired. Shucks I was hoping to just replace the voltage regulator and capacitor. BTW I pulled off the throttle body since I did not have a socket to remove the oil whatever sensor. Thanks for all the input.

What # is on your alternator?

I'd expect maybe 1101230, 1101849, 1101597 or maybe 10479904 but unlikely.

Here's an OEM parts list for your 1101597

Enter your part #'s here for an aftermarket reference. You should be able to sort good - better - best after you get familiar with results. Local shops should be able to reference this information also.

I've been involved with this group or its predecessor since about 1993 and I am always amazed at the valuable information and experience our members provide to new and old members alike. While I am currently without a ZR-1 and not too much of a contributor any more, I am quite proud to be a member of this really terrific group. Pat yourselves on the back, boys and girls.--Bob
