As a side note, I have an extra PP alternator in my hangar that we were going to try on Keith's plane. It had the same model and part numbers and revision numbers but different pulleys and spacers. It didn't fit on Keith's plane.
This same situation came up a few years ago when a customer bought a PP alt for his AG5B from Sac Sky Ranch. Apparently, during the time time between when SSR bought the alternator and when my customer bought it, PP had changed the mounting hardware. The alternator i tried to install not only would fit because the spacers were wrong, but, once I forced the spacer into place, the pulley wouldn't line up either. A call to PP enlightened us regarding revised spacers and pulley. We were charged for the parts they revised.
Again, that left a bitter taste that was only beginning to go away when the current issue with Keith's plane came up.
