Alternator restoration

Hi

Help. I took apart my alt. about a year and half ago and being a smart ass, thought that I could remember how the pulleys and shims all went on. I need to know the sequence in which theses go on the shaft. I have 2 small washers, one is thicker than the other, 2 large shims/washers that have slightly different steps on them , the 2 pulley halfs and of course the fan. I took everything apart to glass bead and powder coat the housings and plate all the hardware. If you look at the pictures ( hopefully you can see them ) if you number everything from left to right, you have 1) large washer/ shim with a small step inside 2 ) large washer with a much larger step and then 3) smaller steel washers first one is thicker and 4) second small washer thinner and then 5 & 6 ) the 2 pulley halfs and fianlly 7) the fan
These are not in any order, just the way I laid them out to take pictures

I need to know which sequence they go first, the what is next etc as well as the the orientation of each piece, step side in or out

I really should have written something down or taken a picture but ???

Seriously, that's your answer.

Still looking for this information.

BTW most alt. dont come with all this on, it has to be transferred over.

Still looking for this information

Thanks, Rick

Bosch and Marelli alternators

I would recommend getting a copy of the Fiat Shop Manual.

Thanks, already have one. Do you see all the parts that I have pictured in those diagrams? I don't .


What I really need is someone that has either has one apart or an alt off the car where they could take a picture of the pulleys and fan, that would be helpful.

Thanks, Rick

What year is the car?
Maybe it isn't a stock alt...

Here are a couple links to photos of the 65A Bosch alternator fan/pulley and spacers in order of assembly from my 1981 Spider. I don't know if it is the original alternator.

Hi,

Yes, that is a huge help, one question, the large washer/spacer that looks gold cad plated on the right, where does that go. You appear to have 3 large washers, I only have the 2. What is behind the fan to space it out from the alt.

Do you know where the 2 small washers/spacers go?

Getting there

Thanks, Rick

The washer furthest to the right goes on the shaft first after the case halves have been assembled. The rest of the parts are in order to follow.

I don't remember the small washers you are talking about. I do recall there was at least 1 press fit washer like bearing keeper that pressed onto the the shaft. If you have 2 maybe one went on the shaft first, then the bearing cover then the bearing then another keeper. I remember the keepers OD fit into the alternator cover tight.

Sorry I can't be of more help
