Hi Guys,
I'd talked with you (Alex) before about your Spider Jr. Mine is a euro model with guages in Italian metrics. How it got to Denver I'll never know (shaking ashes off of Groucho's cigar) but its a barrel of fun.
I originally replaced the brushes on the generator when I first got the car about 6 years ago and haven't had to mess with it since. I do mostly drive it on sunny days and the radio isn't worth playing. I've also got an Optima battery which I highly reccomend. I'm planning to update to an alternator but not until the old one fails. Right now its still charging okay, according to my voltmeter, its the dash circuit that's the problem and wouldn't be solved by an alternator, though a new regulator might do the trick.
Kai, I'd appreciate if you could check the output from your generator. I don't think it should go as high as 16v but I don't know for sure.
Thanks
