I'm thinking someone might have a dead mid-90's jetta/golf/passat alternator lying around... I'm trying to obtain one of the steel bushings the alternator mounting bolts screw into. VW doesn't sell them separately, and no luck at the local junkyard. The P/N for my alternator is 028 903 025 Q, but other mid-90's alternators are pretty much identical... I think! My bushing had a bolt broken off in it which I tried to extract, subsequently breaking off my bolt extractor. I got that out intending to re-tap the threads, but I had drilled the extractor hole slightly off-center and consequently drilled the tap hole off-center as well. Duh! Anyway, the bushing is press-fit into the alternator housing and can be punched out quite easily with a hammer and punch (or appropriately-sized socket). It has an 8x1.25 thread, and is almost exactly 11/16" in diameter, and 25/32" in length. Cheers, Doug Fitz-Randolph Freeport, ME |
