Crap! Alternator shit itself in tonga

[mike]

Turns out its been pumping 30volts AC into the batteries because one or more of the diodes has crapped out. Its down on reduced output etc.

Does anyone have an account at pan pacific that could get an alternator delivered to an Address in auckland for tomorrow for on a plane with an uncle wednesday? Specs are

leece-neville
external regulated
130amp to 180 bigger the better
isolated negative

or anything similar to that quality and size (marine continuous running)

This thing keeps our fridge and freezer running etc so quite important and urgent

I have someone else working to sort this out but they wont have the resources ore members have. If you are able to help please contact paddy at pdshanna@gmail.com or ph 027 2859665 he is an ex mechanic and mech eng so hopefully will know whats what.
He has the address details and CC info.

Any help will be muchly appreciated.

cheers

Hey Fella,

PM Sibainmud, he's worked on boats and I'm sure he could jimmy something up for ya

Thanks guys, got mine working again and doubled the output by adjusting the regulator, will get one up early august and swap over. Not sure about that one badnews, prob going try and get one through pan pacific the same as I have but externally regulated so the mountings are the same.
