[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 196746, member: 4617"] Update on the alternator repair. The shop was very supportive and extremely helpful in everything. Tim and Steve in the service department couldn't have been better. Tim was a little frustrated yesterday because I did not have the info he needed, but with a browse of the forums came up with a suitable replacement out of a 1998 Firefly 1.0 litre turbo. Once we did that and ordered it we all settled in for the wait. The alternator came in at noon today from NAPA. We had a good look at the footprint and it was the same except that we had to cut off the rear foot as has been detailed in a lot of alt conversions. Will have to do some modification when I get home to make everything fit properly, but for the short interim, all is well. They had the alt installed and ready for me before 2:00 PM and I was on the road before 2:30 PM. The bill was also very good considering the time spent at NAPA as well. 2 hours labour and the alt - came in just shy of $370.00 USD. Not complaining, I thought it would be significantly more. Nice ride from Redding; except I hit Sacramento at rush hour, slowed my progress down significantly. 356 miles in 7 1/2 hours - good progress. Tried doing the Iron Butt but a call to Dan and we arranged an alternate meet in Gorman for 0900. No pictures but a good day considering. The guys at Lee's Honda went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of and this being a surprise visit to their shop. Will post my thoughts on my time spent at Lee's Honda in Redding. More to follow. Cheers [/QUOTE]
