Just a heads up.
I replaced the alternator in an AG5B with the Plane Power Alternator.
If you are familiar with the PP Alternator installation, they use a
hardened bushing to center the alternator on the mounting bolt. After
installation, the pulley was off a good 1/8 to 3/16 inch from the ring
gear pulley. When I called PP, they said they've known about the
problem and it was because the bushing was machined wrong. They had
another bushing they'd SELL me. I told them it was there problem and I
shouldn't have to buy another bushing. She put me on hold for several
minutes and then said she'd send a new part. She asked when I needed
it. Since I was AOG, I said, "Now." She said she'd send it next day.
Then, about a week later, I got a bill for next day shipping. $42.56. I
didn't pay it right away. A month later, I got a nasty-gram saying my
bill was being turned over for collection.
Not a very user-friendly company. Too bad they make such a nice
alternator.
Oh, my biggest gripe with their alternators is the location of the
studs for the battery and field.
