| Subject: | Failed Alternator |
After my custom alternator failed (50 hours) in my 8A, I went to Advanced
Auto. I now have 600 hours on a Mitsubishi 60 -70 amp, internal regulator,
internal fan alternator.
While various makes are suitable, the one I have is from a 1990 Mazda 626,
2.2L, L4, Fuel injected. Price is $90-$100 at Advance Auto parts and other
auto stores.
Two things:
- Most of these alternators come with the serpentine type belt. Take
the pulley off your old alternator and put it on the new one.
- As this these alternators are internally regulated, external
overvoltage protection is recommended. I have the output of the alternator
going through a 70A breaker, then to an output solenoid before it ties into
the battery buss. The output solenoid is on a separate breaker with a crow
bar over voltage protection on it that shorts the breaker output - tripping
the breaker and thus opening the solenoid on overvoltage.
On the RV-10 I'm going with the straight plane power option as the internal
over voltage protection simplifies the install.

Just wondering if others are using this alternator instead of the Plane
Power from Van's. If any are using this, what if anything did you do for
the cooling fan since it is set up for clockwise rotation. Can the fan be
flipped or is this a non issue?

My Vans supplied 60 A alternator failed at about 150 hours. The replacement
was an Nippondenso Model 36-14684N from an auto parts store and seems to be
working fine at 550 hrs. I get the impression that a suitable alternator may
be found under several manufacturer/part no. combinations.

Time for the Fourth (and last) annual Copperstate RV10 nest. (Fifth and last will
be next year).
I hope to be set up all three days. Definitely the last two. All are welcome
anytime for a shady place to crash and relax and grab something out of the cooler.
Carne Asada luncheon Saturday noonish.
Hope to see a great turnout as we have each year so far.

Is anyone using a spinner other than the standard Vans spinner on the Vans
cowl for the -10?

Just to give you an idea of how horrific the crash scene was, here are
before and after photos of the seating
section that was at the point of impact.
