Anyone know the cheapest place to get seriously scrapped alternators from?

I need a couple to whip the pulleys off them to put bearings in for idle / tension bearings on my BEC blower install....

Don't know of any local scrappers (would have thought land would be too bloody expensive to store dead motors on)... Quite a few old cars used the 6-rib belt that I'm using (Astra's being one).... Can't imagine seriously rusted up Astra alternators being too unLocost, but not sure where to start... Anyone know of anywhere in North London where cars go when they die to rust in piece?

Most of my build happened in Nottingham- there we had a mecca for rusty motors near the river- probably about 4 football fields of scrapped motors, broken bits etc... Great fun....

only ones i know are A41 at bushey and just off the A 40 at alperton,be prepared to learn polish to get served there tho

Try a local scrap metal yard - note scrap metal not scrap cars - they'd probably let you rob a couple for beer tokens as they are only interested in weight of metal, not what it is.

Good point re scrap metal people... Car scrappers would probably want to sell the whole alternator.. I've mailed a few of the people reconditioning alternators on Ebay- I bet they get a few coming through that are so knackered that they're effectively scrappers... A nice 80mm alternator pulley should surfice for the crank pulley. I might even be able to keep the standard supercharger pulley as it is...

A40 wouldn't be a problem if I was able to make the meet tommorow but it appears my Ebay "next day delivery" battery didn't include Saturdays so I'm stuck @ home.. Language could indeed be a problem- my Polish is a bit rusty- ? in need of a polish?

if you can borrow/steal a tin top why not pop down to the meet,looks like just me and bob at the mo tho.,weather is a tad damp for an open car at the mo

There's a scrappy just off North Circular at A109 Bounds Green Rd, also in Oakleigh Rd South, Southgate.

U2U me if you want precise detail

Is a ford alternator any good? I have a couple spare

Kind regards

I'll have a look tonight in the garage, I did have a few 6 rib pulley'd power steering pumps laying around, that nobody would give me any money for, sure I could spare some bits there!
