alternator choices
 
I want to put in a chrome alternator. Any ideas please.

I have to ask, just because you might be the first. Why? Chrome a stock one?

ETA: Here's a billet cover:

That's just going to look, ah, odd.

Once you start chroming under the hood it is hard to know when to stop! Be prepared to spend some big bucks.
I looks good on bikes and open front hot rods but may be a bit extreme on these cars.

There's a saying in the motorcycle community: "chrome don't get you home". Just sayin'.

Because he wants to bitch about it when it fails next year from the chrome holding in heat, then replace it with a stock one.

Most would buy a second alternator, take apart the housing and then have it polished, not chromed. It's been a while since I've had any engine parts polished. I want to say I payed $220 to have one done on my old pontiac and $500 for a blower. Results and prices will vary.

Did you miss TB's f-you to your post in the "mountain riding" thread? He deleted his post. I quoted his reply, though. Odd that TB would "f-you" a post not aimed at him about SqRo. Same dude, IMO.

There were 10 or 11 of pretty much the same on different threads after my response to his post in the Questions/Issues thread. I did not respond beyond giving him thanks!
