Heat sink compound

[thergen at svn.net]

I had both the bearing and later the diode failure mode on my alternator.

Does anyone have a source for those wrap around clamps needed on the CS130
alternators for retaining the replacement bearing after punching out
the old front bearing?

I think JC Whitney also carries the "iceberg" case.

Thanks,
Tom
