    Hi: I am planning to add a second radio. Thinking of the micro air, small, do not have space for anything bigger... Where is best price, and does it comes with harness or that is additional cost? Any commests on the unit, for those who have one? do not have space for audio panel,, is there a switch or some way to be able to use both radios? Thanks for the information Bert do not archive

    Subject: Van's 60A alternator
    Guy's: My alternator quit working yesterday after 7 months and 130 hours in service. I called Van's and asked if there was a warranty on this unit. The answer was 60 days from purchase. It sat in the box nearly that long before installation. I had it diagnosed by a alternator rebuild shop and they said the rotor had failed and was not worth rebuilding, a "throwaway unit". It is a light duty Suzuki Sprint 60A ND alternator, model 5022, also used extensively in other Japanese autos. The newer test machines are computer controlled and need model parameters input before the unit can be tested. I was able to buy an identical replacement and exchange the pulley for $145 with a year's warranty. I am somewhat disappointed that Van's will not guarantee the unit as most reputable auto parts stores currently do. Dan

    Try your delete key. It works really well for subjects you aren't interested in or people you don't want to hear from. It has the added advantage of not restricting those who do want to hear it.

Well, if that's all it takes, then Matt could save a lot of complication by replacing all of the RV, Yak, etc. lists with a single mailing list. If something comes along that you don't want, just hit delete. Let's try and keep the RV-List RV-related. -Rob Do Not Archive (something sadly lacking from most of the posts related to Chinese-made Cessnas)
