[doc] Alternators and Front Springs

[Martin Gutkowski - DMUK <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

We've got our stock of front lowering springs in, thanks to Chrispy. 
They're ready to ship out.

We've also been putting some time into the alternator situation. The 
Bosch units we did carry took far too much work to obtain and modify, 
and performance while good was not the "great" we were looking for.

A chance query regarding an older Renault car resulted in us 
investigating a different avenue and the results exceeded all our 
expectations.

Anyone who has ever replaced a belt on the DeLorean alternator knows 
it's a pain and to be done properly requires two people. We also know 
that the ducellier units fitted to early cars are underpowered (turn 
headlights, stereo and AC on with blower on 4, then look at the voltage 
gauge at idle!).

We also know that "proper" replacement alternators are either rebuilt 
Motorolas (in short supply), or are custom-fit american units.

Alternative units are available from one US vendor in particular, but 
these are modified GM units whose record is mixed, depending on who you 
talk to.

Well, you can stop looking! DMUK will shortly (within the week) be 
posting our all new replacement alternators to our website, and we're 
really rather excited about these! They fit perfectly with no 
modification (or evidence thereof), are rated to 110A, and come with a 
special tensioning bracket with screw fitting making tightening the 
alternator belt as easy as the AC belt. But the best bit of all - they 
accept the plug from the original Ducellier without any wiring 
modification! The manufacturer is the same as the starter motor, and we 
all know how strong they are. From the moment the box is opened, they 
ooze quality and once finaly testing is complete, they'll be made available

All the best
