| Subject: | Autoparts alternator as a spare |
This is the one I used before replacing with a plane power. It works well
for 10 years:
Mitsubishi 60 -70 amp, internal regulator, internal fan. Various makes are
suitable. Model used listed under 1990 Mazda 626, 2.2L, L4, Fuel injected.
Available at
Advance Auto parts for $95, as well as most auto stores. It comes with a
spline pulley so you will need the auto parts store to replace it with the
pulley off of your old alternator.

I posted this on VAF but not much yet.

Basiclly, I am impressed that someone carried a spare alternator with him on
a trip. Talk about being prepared. However, it does seem like a good idea to
know if such an option exists for the -10. Does anyone know if there is an
equivalent auto parts alternator that will work for us?
Thus, we can either carry around a cheap spare or know what to look for at a
local auto parts store, even better. This would be a backup to the stock
Plane Power alternator. Does anyone know of the closest direct replacement?

Agreed. Very specific instructions from Hartzell - I just follow them.
Especially because they take the time to spell out not to treat it like
any other grease situation (pump until something comes out somewhere else).
Since I don't have a history greasing stuff, I don't seem to have a
problem following the instructions.

Would that be a direct bolt on replacement if the Plane Power quit while
away from home?
