I've provided a link to the first *for sell* thread I started awhile back on my first post of this thread.

I give the option of a Single or Double Pulley to those that are Interested. I can also provide the stock FD Serpentine Pulley If needed. Which reminds me, I have yet to tap Into the FD Forum. Hmm...

This time don't go looking for your Kit at the P.O with your shotgun Santiago.

The amperage breakdown Is as follows:

-s4 (86-88) ~ 60 ampheres

-s5 (89-91) ~ 80 ampheres

-s6 (93-95) ~ 100 ampheres

With every FD Alternator shipped out I have seen them tested under simulated driving conditions with this machine that Is used. It Is not surprising to see them at around 3200 rpm's putting out 125-130 amps. But keep In mind that this settles down after It has been broken In.

I got my alternator in and am extremely satisfied. The alternator was in excellent condition. Installation was a breeze. A few wire splices and thats about it.
I started my 7, unplugged the battery and turned on all the lights, open the doors, pushed the brakes and turned on the radio while rolling down the power window without even so much as a hiccup from the new alt. Just rolling down the window would cause my stock alt to severely drop voltage and would barely run if the headlamps were already on, so for me the results were immediately seen.
Needless to say I am highly pleased and would be more than willing to attest to the quality of these alternators if anyone needs a customer opinion.

Thank you guys. I appreciate the feedback! I wish more purchasers would reply back after they have received their Kit. With some not replying back at all - who knows what happened with them or their FD Alternators? Atleast now, I received your Input/response (as requested for) and I can move on, respectively. And If a problem ensues, It'll be addressed, as my history suggest so.

Just so you know, this Is the last day for this thread. I will soon be creating a new stickied thread In the Parts Forum, so be on the look out. In the mean time, PM me If you have any questions.

Thank you Mods for my temporary space here.

The one to Sweden must be my kit!? Canīt wait to get it! I think itīs a great deal, and itīs always very nice when someone helps us on the other side of the world, to get hold of things that otherwice would be hard to get here!
Thank again silverrotor!

molehill, wow! I'm flattered that you think this Is great that I'm willing to ship to Scandanavia. It's no problem really. I'm glad I can assist you In a way that a few others can't. Enjoy!

An offical thread pertaining to finer details to the FD Alternator Kits will be created today or tomorrow In the 2nd/3rd Gen Parts Forum so be on the look out. Thanks!

...oh, I wasn't aware that you crashed up one of your FC's. It's good you and your FD Alternator made It out okay.
