[QUOTE="AApple, post: 209401, member: 56"] Seal FINALLY arrived Saturday. HOWEVER....it will NOT fit this aftermarket alternator. :sensored: :head bang: The inside diameter is far too small. It will fit my original Honda alternator tho, so I'll have a seal for when I finally get around to putting new brushes in the original alt, and have it for a spare, also. I chucked the coupler up in the drill press, and used a brown Rol-loc disc on a die-grinder to smooth out the rough seal surface. I followed the Rol-loc with some 180 grit emory cloth, and followed that with a red scotch-brite pad. The sealing surface is now smooth enough to not rip at the seal.....the seal I had to order by dimension. Less than $10, at my door by Friday. :clapping: I also got all of the oil cleaned from the internal parts of the alt, so it's all ready to be re-assembled as soon as the other seal gets here. In case anyone is wondering, the seal is a 24x38x7(metric), which means it has a 24mm inside diameter, 38mm outside diameter, and a 7mm width. Actual part # on the old one is TC 24387. The OD and width are the same as the OE Honda seal, but the inside diameter(sealing surface) is much larger than the OE seal. Pics will be coming when I get it ready to put back together. :good: [/QUOTE]
