for your information members who are buying aftermarket alternators could wind up with one of these.

$50.00 a piece, has to be a lot of quality for that price.

The 1981- 1982 had internal stators and the 1500s started in 1988 with the external alternator.
Those who say it cannot be done should try not to interrupt those who are doing it.

Ofcenter, i agree with you, I hope members see the sarcasm in my original post. Those alternators look a lot like some of the alternators on the aftermarket sites,

I was in no way encouraging members to buy them

Oh, I saw the sarcasm alright.
I went through two cheap Chinese alternators in a short time a few years ago.
They are crap.
I finally found an original Honda alternator and it's been fine since.
