Fiddy Customs in Mandurah to the rescue (again) with the altenator :D

Will have a look at Gasmans set up and fit up; then its a tidy up & paint on the engine bay.

Oh and stencils for Figers & others.

No Probs rick

I can turn it by my self I can send the dimensions if ya want cost me roughly $300

I used an engine crane and 4 ton ratchet straps to hold it, slow and steady

Very simple really, mine is off the the twirler this week

Have a look at my picks Ya could trim the extractor holes up a bit? Cut them smaller at first.

Cheers
