Looks like I am first? Took the day off to thrash on the Demon as I need to burn some PTO. My brain woke up thinking about all I had to do today and I could not shut it off and go back to sleep. Might as well head to the shop take some measurements and cut out the other inner fender. Happy Thursday, me and the hound are heading to the shop.
HTT ALL!

They don’t say. I’ll watch the episode later today
Makes a big difference.
Morning.
Must have been tired. I slept all night. Didnt move.
Not very often that happens.
A few things to finish the jetta, another one done.

Taking a break, already got the driver side inner cut out. Starting to fabricate cowl support. Gotta have a place for the inner to land on. Bowl of granola and a spot of green tea and I am ready to go again.
Might get the Cuda trunk pan welded in today. Needs a bit more trimming. I was down hard yesterday and did not do anything. Have some distribs to do fast then maybe???

In the one below you can see where the brushes come through.
(ignore the yellow arrow, that's the output stud)
The two copper rings on the rotor is what they contact.
When electricty flows through the rotor windings, it creates a magnetic field. That's why they are called field terminals.
You can see what the field terminals connect to in this post: Alternator repair, a little show and tell.

Note the balance dimple.
We have an older lady here in town. She has a very small house on a dead end street.
A little redneck has a bedroom in the house set up as her shop and does nothing but rebuild old alternators.
