WTB: OEM Bosch Alternator
Hopefully the mods dont kill me for posting this here. I wasnt sure which section of Classifieds it should go in and figure they'll move it anyway.

So I'm looking for a OEM Bosch alternator (NOT rebuilt) new or used to replace the rebuilt pos that is currently installed. It has a sticker that says it was remanufactured in the UK and is slightly different in design as compared to a Bosch. It does the job and all but I simply dont feel great about rebuilt alternators and want it replaced.

Please PM or e-mail if you have one for sale.

Are you trying to avoid websites? I just had to replace my alternator, albeit a Valeo, I got it from Partsgeek.com with free shipping. The warehouse must have been just a block away from my house because I received the free standard shipping and it came the next day.
