Alternator bushes?

Do you mean the shaft bearings? if so you can get them off t'internet, try Simply Bearings, iirc you need a 6202-2RS and a 6302-2RS

Yep, bearings are as below....easy to get as they are standard parts....try simply bearings on line...

OK, so what is marked on the edge of the old bearings? / Can you measure them, need ID, OD and thickness

Sorry to hear that... I took-off the drawings, but Mark's sizes are spot-on according to Vx EPC, so not sure what happened there...

And I have re-built about 5 now and all had that size bearing.....

sorry for the delay...yes i checked and double checked. but the bearings on my alternator are a lot bigger. one thing i did notice was that the biggest one looked like it was totally sealed ( incased in metal ) however i did take the smaller one apart to find it was very dry so obviously i packed it with plenty grease (lurpack) its definatly a lot quiter but I can still hear it ( you know how it is ) i know the sensible thing to do would have been to read the numbers on the sides or to measure them but i was so gutted that i just stuck it all together and went in a big huff.....paul :)

Also... it isn't an ex-plod car, is it? I'm thinking of a heavy-duty non-standard alternator...
