Hey, new to the list, opening with alternator question...

[NIck Miller]

So, I have been trying to rebuild my Audi V8's alternator.  Its a real
blast.  Came accross this writeup, still working through it.
http://www.humanspeakers.com/audi/alternator.htm

Pretty good stuff.  I still can't seem to get the center section out of
mine, I'm sort of lost as to why.  I'm talking about the rotor in it.  I've
got new bearings (actually one extra for some reason) and a new Voltage
regulator as well.

I also will be needing some new hardware in certain areas, a few of the old
screws were pretty brittle and snapped.  Got to love aluminum and steel
working together with road salt..

So, he mentioned in his write-up an "avi Meron" whom sourced a VR that has a
better voltage output than the oe unit, this information would be usefull if
it does indeed apply to the V8's alternator, which I think is the higher
140amp unit that was also avail. on the URS4s.  Not sure, though.

Thanks, all.
