Default At the NER DE event in Mont-Tremblant - alternator failed

Hi there,

I am up at Mont-Tremblant and my alternator failed. I am wondering if anyone has a remanufactured alternator in the area? I cannot find anything that will ship to our condo is less than 2 days.

It is a 1979 Porsche 911. I am looking for a Bosch Alternator.

Thanks
Nick Shanny

Send Bob Rouleau (sp?) a note as he lives up there and will know who locally may have one. He may be at the track with you guys too.

Go inquire at the Crevier gas station in the village ... one of the owners is a Porsche guy with a 500 HP 1989 930 Turbo,i`m sure he'll be able to help you out !

What DE is that ? How come we're not invited

Cheers !
Phil

Thanks guys. I did try the Crevier, but they wanted 850 for the alternator. A bit much.

Well,just got back from Tremblant where the NER Porsche gang is playing and i met some really nice people as well as having seen a lot of interesting cars !

Unfortunately the alternator didn't fit Nick's application ( P/N discrepancy) but nevertheless it was a splendid way to spend the afternoon .

Will have to join them next year as they're a great bunch of people

Cheers !
Phil

Shout out to Phil who drove a part to Mt Tremblant from Montreal today to help a fellow Renlister out. Unfortunately, the part did not fit, but we made a new connection with our French Canadian brethren. Looking forward to seeing you and your son up here next year.

Dennis,

It was nice meeting you and your wife,gotta love your car ... those 3lb doors are awesome and that thing that is sitting in your garage for now should be awesome in your car next year !
Oooops ... was i supposed to say that

As for my son,yup he has his eye on my car,but if anything i'll buy him a 944 before he does any laps with MY car ... well at least that's the reasoning for now ... lol

Cheers !
Phil
