Arrow Should I start selling FD Alternator Kits again?

I keep getting PM's on this very same question.

As alot of you may know I was selling (93-96) FD Alternator Kits fitted for the FC with an optional Single or Double Pulley. These Alternators crank out 100 ampheres but the tests I have performed, prior to shipping, puts out an average 130 ampheres. For those whom had a s4 (86-88) I provided a Harness Plug to further compliment the Install...It was essentially a complete Kit.

Now, with the response being bigger than I anticipated I continued with the selling of these Kits for almost 2 yrs until I found myself not having much time to continue.

So I ask, Is It worth It to Invest my time In the selling of a product that any FC can benifit from? There will be some revisions though. Details to my original thread can be found here.

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ght=alternator

Let me know please.

(Moderator Notes: Stuck for a week at the request of silverrotor, who is a paying advertisor, just in case anyone feels the need to ask. )

Yes

I plan on ordering one the 1st of November if you have any available. I just ordered my Higgi double alternator pulley for the FD alternator.

Thanx

I am planning on getting an FD alternator for my car when I get my transmission retrofit completed. This complete kit would probably help me out greatly, so count me in.

It'd be cool if you and Higgi worked together on it, since your kit comes with a dual belt pulley, might as well be a cool one.

I was kicking myself for not buying one while you still sold them, because my alternator has been crapping out on me for a while now. I'm also about to convert to a smaller battery, so I'd be interested even if you only made a small, single run.

Without a doubt SilverRotor make another run.
I was dissappointed the first time when you had them available, and
I didnt get one from you. As soon as you have one available I will
take it in a heartbeat, please add me on the list. PM me if you are going to do
them again with all you info on where to send the payment to.

I appreciate the feedback guys. So far we have a handful of members. Surely, I didn't serve the entire FC community on the last run, did I? It was approx just the half of them.
