Hello James,

Thank you for the suggestion James. However, as I do not have a lathe it would need to be done professionally. If I could find a local company who would accept such a "small job" it would cost the same in labour as buying a new alternator.

It also annoys the hell out of me that such a common and inexpensive part; at 20 Australian dollars, would be machined so it requires such a secret squirrel tool.

Kind regards
Lionel
