Alternator stator cables

[Andy Edwards]

Hello. I am replacing the alternator stator on my 1962 A50. The cable has to route through a tube threaded into the left side crankcase. The original stator had 3 wires which easily passed through this tube and these were sealed onto the tube with a rubber sleeve. The new RM21 stator has only 2 wires but these are enclosed in a pvc sleeve which is secured with heat shrink tubing at the terminal ends of the wires.  This arrangement has too great an O/D to pass through the tube in the crankcase. What have others done to overcome this? I'm considering carefully removing the pvc sleeve, what do others think?

Go to search at the head of this page. Call up A65 alternator. Click on thread by me 21 May 2021. It shows how I overcame this same problem. Sorry I dont know how to repost it here. Some kind soul will probably do it for "us".

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike

Thanks for that, I'll be back out in the garage later so I'll check to see if that is feasible with the new stator.
