Re: [doc] Door struts, cat pipes and alternators

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the pulley on ours is the same size as a motorola for the simple 
reason that any bigger and the belt's a pain to put on! It also comes 
down to the physical size of the windings - not sure why, probably a 
"rough'n'ready" way of guaging their output, but certainly the Bosch 
units are considerably heavier than the Ducellier! They're designed to 
work "8 days a week" according to our supplier.

BTW none of this affects our ability to get the Motorola units rebuilt - 
what makes the DeLorean units unique is the pattern of the casing, the 
internals are readily available.

We know the correct term is Current with the SI Unit being Amperes or Amps. Like calling suspension dampers 'shock absorbers'. The shock absorbers are the springs, the dampers dampen the re-coil....oooh makes me irratable ha ha.
