Muddy alternator

Post by Aaron »

After the Wiamak trip the alternator decided to give up the ghost :cry: so I thought it was about time I gave it a clean up,

A local Mu owner, sick of repeatedly doing this very job, left his alt in situ for the vaccum pump, but fitted another alt in place of his air cond pump to get it up out of harms way
