Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
I went to a wrecker and they asked $100 for a sh one... No thanks hah, i charge my battery before every trip and only drive when its urgent. The alternator puts out 11 volts so im going to rebrush itWell i guess considering you will soon break down because the battery will become too low, that would be bad. Why not just put a 50 buck SH alt on and be done with it?
Yes, sounds like the reg is stuffed and needs replacing if the alternator still spins over ok. Only takes a few minutes to replace and does not need the alternator to be removed to swap the regulator/brush assembly.Try just replacing the voltage regulator. Should only cost around $25 or so, and easy to replace.
Freight + Markup would do that. Cheaper to go direct to the source if possible as you suggested.Ahhh that would be why Repco sell some of same parts Ashdowns do, just more expensive.
Couldnt find a price on ashdown ingram, but found one for $94 at repco. Is it worth buying a second hand alternator or new regulator?Ashdown Ingram should have the parts to fix your alt. They also sell A/C parts and might be cheaper than Repco.
