Hi Nick
The new alternators are heavy duty 90A units. I will admit that I don't
really understand the ins and outs of alternators, but our guy took one
look at one of Hervey's 130A (I think) units and said ours will take
more load, despite "only" being rated to 90A. I think he meant that
Hervey's are tweaked to put out that kind of amperage (that's what
alternator manufacturers call it - ych!) and are more susceptible to
failure.
We'll put a guarantee on it that it'll take anything you can throw at
it, within reason (eg amplifier, computer, ac and headlights on).
The blower is really easy to get to - it mounts upwards in the pass
footwell. From memory it's 6 8mm hex-heads to drop it out. The centre
vents on speed 4 should feel like a low power hairdryer. As for
longevity - the guy we buy them off has been selling them for years and
never had one come back due to spinning backwards.
Best Wishes
Martin

Are the blower motors easy to get to or is it another dashboard out time?Does your blowers have a separate run winding or something to ensure it runs in the correct direction all the time or is it a direct copy of the oem part?
