[Vwdiesel] Alternator mix and match

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  Sounds like you're on the right path but I'd suspect a 
different amperage of alternator could just as easily 
have different rotors(?) as well as stators.
  How about just using new bearings?  I wouldn't go to all 
the trouble of tearing one down just to put some "better" 
used bearings in there.  If things are worn sloppy how about 
a little JB weld to tighten up the bearing to case fit?  I had 
a good 90A with a spun bearing surface on the shaft.  I'd 
intended to have it turned and a smaller ID bearing put in.  
Sure enough the local rebuilder has the bearings in stock.  
One of the uncles on the orchard had decided it needed 
thrown away.  :-P
