I rebuilt a Lucas ACR alternator with a new slip ring,diode pack etc and it
was never that fantastic. I figure that over time unless the windings are
replaced in the alternator the output wouldn't match a new one. It' also
the case that reconditioned can sometimes mean a fresh coat of paint to
some companies. At Sprite Rush 98 (?) when Frank Clarici had the Green Sprite
it had a really neat small alternator on it. Back in the UK I sourced
something similar because it weighed less and looked better than the Lucas
ACR.

I'm just trying to rule out possibilities on how I'm killing so many
alternators. They fail slowly. Gradually requiring more and more rpms before
they start charging and eventually they quit charging regardless on rpms.
I'm on my fourth "rebuilt" Lucas unit from a major chain autoparts store.
