Up here in the frozen north, a FLAPS chain named Canadian Tire has standard
"rebuilt in the USA", 65 amp bosch alternators, complete with pulley and
regulator,  with "dubya" terminal, for non-A/C cars, for the princely sum of
$70CDN (not including refundable core charge)

I got one for goldie, and was so impressed, I ordered another for inventory.

I sensed, because they had to order it in, this unit might be getting rare,
and I want to have enough to last the lives of my remaining A2's.

I have noticed they are no longer readily available used from our junk
yards, and where available, cost as much as the clean, new bearinged rebuilt.
