Indeed, I comprehend your perspective now.

I was looking for a Bosch rectifier suitable for my alternator. However, locating the information I needed proved to be quite challenging.

I am aware that the rectifier requires two malfunctioning diodes. One option might involve substituting two diodes and observing the subsequent outcomes.

Ultimately, I acquired a new aftermarket alternator, yet I still wish to preserve the Bosch unit if possible.

Only a week prior, I acquired a remanufactured alternator and installed an OEM regulator; why not simply buy a new alternator? The slip rings are likely deteriorated regardless...begin anew, my friend!

Acquire an alternator, and you will receive a warranty alongside it.
