I know.

I often forget that while auto fuel is popular with "WE" auto engine
converters its not always assummed by others its part of  "FUEL". And sadly
its a moving target even to contents that can dissolve coatings etc.

Sorry for the confusion.

Subject: AeroElectric-List: Alternator Field connector stud

--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Tammy and Mike Salzman <arrow54t@yahoo.com>

Hi there,

I broke the stud where the alternator field wire connects to my Kelly
Aerospace alternator.  (Contintntal IO-550)  Anyone have a suggestion
where I can find a replacement?  Kelly Aerospace wants $81 for a new
brush holder assembly, but I only need the stud.  Of course they don't
sell just the stud.  It resembles a carriage bolt, but smaller than
I've ever seen available locally.  I think it may be about a #6 or #8
and about 1" long.

Thanks,
Mike Salzman

Most medium sized cities have at least one '<XYZ> Bolt & Screw' 
distributor (Jackson MS has three). They always have stuff you'd never 
see in a retail hardware store. You can usually walk in with the broken 
part, looking pitiful (or get your wife to do it) & they will feel sorry 
for you & find what you need.

Forgot to mention:

There's a pretty high probability that if you show the alt. to your 
local auto-electric shop, they can sell you the brush holder for a lot 
less money.

Of course, if it's for a factory a/c, I would *never* recommend doing 
that.....
