Just discovered this thread, I didn't even know that there was a "show-tell-gallery". You should put a link in the Performance and Technical section to share this experience.
Really impressive work!

All right, back to the alternator, picking up where I left off a few months ago. Here`s the new slip ring fitted on the rotor:





Make sure this little notch on the slip ring casing fits the slot on the rotor or else you will have to destroy the slip ring housing to get it off again. Don`t ask how I know...




I soldered new wires in between the rings and the coil.




Quick testing for continuity using a 9V battery and a knife from the kitchen drawer. Mesmerizing!



Pressing the small bearing on its place using the big one:





The larger bearing in the set for the drive side was not the correct one, so I had to get a matching one:




Pulled into the case:




Finally spins freely with no noise.
