Re: [T3] type 1 alt on a type 3

[Per Lindgren <lindgre@online.no>]

<x-flowed>When the generator in my Variant gave out, I tried the type 1 alternator 
trick. What I found was that since the type 1 alt. is so thick in one 
end, it will not line up perfectly and the pulley will be misaligned, 
causing the belt to twist. Since this was before I became acquainted 
with this list and Toby's alternator mod, I managed to get the last 
replacement type 3 generator from Norway's leading aircooled VW store.
