Saab 99 Turbo Part 13 – Alternator and Starter Motor Restoration
And done. I painted the heat shield bracket with silver paint as it cannot be seen anyway.
I restored the alternator and starter motor. Pretty straightforward job other than the pulley and fan on the alternator being pretty stuck. Mostly just a bit of cleanup, glass bead blasting and new paint. I also replaced the old nuts and washers with new shiny ones. I still need to send the fan and pulley to be zinc coated and yellow passivated with the other parts needing new surface treatment.

The Saab 99 Turbo alternator needed some help.
I cleaned and repainted the outside of the stator.
I also glass bead blasted the housing.
Originally the alternator had an ugly blue voltage regulator. I changed it for an older black one that looked nicer.

Also the starter needed to be cleaned and restored.
Sand bead blasting and new paint. Starting to look better.
