Скачать или смотреть Lucas A115 Alternator Testing, Repair and Restoration. Bearings Diode Regulator Oh My!

I've had this Classic Mini Cooper Lucas A115 alternator in my parts pile for a few years and I finally got around to finding out what was wrong with it.
This alternator was used as an upgrade for the ACR alternator for a few years before the A127 alternator came out.
It had higher output of 45 amps vs the ACR of 30 amps

In Part 1, I fully dismantle this unit to clean and inspect all the components.
Cleaned and vapor blasted the aluminum cases.
Replaced the bearings with new SKF sealed bearings.
Tested the outer strator windings as well as the motor winding.
Tested the diode and rectifier assembly
Tested the voltage regulator.
Checked the brushes and slip rings.

let me know if you found this useful or interesting in the comments below.

Thanks for watching
