Their phone number is 203-790-8990 and their address is 36-B Kenosia Ave. They rebuilt my alternator for $140 and it has been fine for the last 10K miles. They're near Connecticut Driveshaft which does really good work on prop shafts and axles. Let me know if want to go, maybe we can meet at that Starbucks on Mill Plain. Cheers, Paul   paul londrigan (Neversummer) Member Username: Neversummer Post Number: 71 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, February 21, 2003 - 09:02 pm:    Cool beans Paul, I'll take a look at my schedual and see what it looks like, 140 bucks is alot better then five hundred for a new one. I'll get back to you. regards paul   Paul Grant (Paulgrant) Member Username: Paulgrant Post Number: 159 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, March 03, 2003 - 10:20 pm:    Paul, Did you ever get your alternator sorted out? My clutch slave cylinder went this morning. Nothing like working under the car in 15 degree weather! Hope all is well.

Runs dead smack in the middle, oh well nothin like some lucas electrical magic for you. Yeah tell me about that weather man, last weekend was master cylinder, front pads and brake bleeding for me in the cold and some rain too. Just put a snorkel on the truck to, home made but works like a charm 100% functional, I'll have to shoot you some pics.
