***RESSURRRECCCCTTT!!!!!***
Okay, so I'm pulling my alt apart so I can clean and paint it.... I figured while I'm in there to replace some parts since rebuilding alts is a piece of cake it appears. There's GOTTA be an online place that sells alternator parts... Do you think maybe a mazda dealership would sell the parts?
I haven't looked for an "alternator specialty shop" but I can't imagine such a thing exists.. weirder things have happened though.

try places that sell Pumps,generators,Electrric Motors.Things of That nature,You are looking for Brushes and the Bearing for the ending Casing.Another suggestion would be am Upgrade to a FD alternator(if you have an FC)..Or if you find a Alternator Rebuild shop,What the can do is REdo your Armature(?) windings to give the thing More Output.Some guys can do this and get a good 100 or more out of the regular 70 amps from an Rewound FC alt...you can also Try Silverrotor(canadain Moderator).he WAS selling the FD alts for an FC..somewhere to the tune of $200 or so.

How much did everything cost you for your FD alt?

If you go here: http://jcw.webepc.com/servlets/WebEPC35?ns=Charging%20Alternator+%26+Voltage+Regu lator%201987%20MAZDA%20RX-7&cl=jcw&vc=1987|51|RX7|7639&grc=11011&grd=Chargin g&JCWRETURN=www.jcwhitney.com&storeId=10101&catalo gId=10101&sgc=12086
You'll find brush sets, bearings etc.
Well that link does not work. Try this http://jcw.webepc.com/servlets/WebEP...&storeId=10101
That site can drive you nuts. It helps, if you get lost, to click on their toolbar that says PARTS COUNTER. It's a fairly good site. In the past I've bought the SunCoast series five alternator for a turbo car. It comes with a pigtail harness about six inches long so the alt can be used on a non turbo or turbo with no interference issues.

Very cool! Thanks! I searched that site, but I guess I got lost... Summit racing was also no help... neither was jegs... but they never are.
Thanks! Now to see if its cheaper than a rebuilt alternator.
