AC903900EC 60 Amp Alternator Kit for VW Beetle

I couldn't figure out if I had a bad generator or regulator so I picked this up. The swap was easy, the fit was great, and it works like a dream! I used permatex.

The stand installed perfectly.I recommend that you use a dremel tool and wire brush attachment to clean off the coating on the inside of the filler tube threads BEFORE you install it. The threads have a rough textured anodization or coating making it impossible to thread in the original oil filler parts.I also recommend that you use a bartender's bar-key bottle opener for the oil filler's nut as it will fit the notches perfectly and the available $12-20 dedicated tool is only good for one thing. I bent the crap out of the bar-key I used, but for $12-20, you can buy a box of them and use them for something useful other than attaching an oil filler neck. To get leverage, I stuck a tool through the opening on one end and stuck the tongue into the slot-grooves of the nut. I had originally borrowed an inner pipe wrench from a buddy to remove the filler part in the first place and the bar-key was much easier because it didn't slip.

Haven't installed it yet.

Husband said "Works great 👍".Good Quality, Good Price, Happy with Purchase.

I got this to a 1977 vw beetle , the installation was not too hard, was able to remove the alternator by raising it a bit the doghouse. the instructions were clear in terms of the cables. I run to the power cable to the starter, it made it look cleaner and it was a shorter distance.

Muchas gracias

great product, works great

I gave it 4 stars only because its a kit and it didn't come this any instructions and did not come with gaskets for the alt stand. Otherwise works greatPros: works great, functions properly.Befor upgrade my blinker would flash fast because not enough juice to run everything and my radio, after my blinker is fine and my lights stopped going high and low at idle.Cons: did not come with gasket for alternator stand so I uses silicone gasket maker.I had a hard time getting the oil filler on with the plastic hose that comes off the fan shroud for the heat (this might have been just an issue with my engine but the oil filler is in the way just enough so its a thight forced fit)Did not come with instructions so I used YouTube and other online sourcesLastly I think they should include the 2 terminal connectors for the wiring under the back seat.I recommend buying the tool to remove the oil filler off the old gen stand or buy a new one with a new nut, I used a hammer and a crowbar. Also make sure you have a 36mm to remove gen from the fan itself.
