Why be so complicated ? I guess in about 90% of all failed alternators only the brushes need to be replaced, that's about 5 Euro here in germany, done by yourself in less than an hour ! And if necessary also a the front bearing can be replaced without any big trouble. The first one I replaced this way (only the brushes) is still driving around, and that for about 60000 miles now. And my D will never see any other alternator than the original one, as long as the diodes are ok. Keep in mind, a regular alternator lasts about 100000 miles until the brushes need to be replaced. Why should the original Delorean one be worse ? Elvis & 6548
