Authenticating date stamps & part numbers

[427king]

I know of more than a few guys that will keep thier 837 front cases, and then send out a generic alternator and have it 100% show restored. When it comes back,they take off the pulley and removerthe front case and install thier 837 piece. That way they have a show piece and the 837 case never left thier shop

Chuck,

Again, good points. You seem to err on the side of caution.
I guess that's smart. But I feel somewhat that it is a
negative approach. Don't misunderstand my position. I don't
disagree. However, I would prefer to send my item(s) out
for restoration and not have to mistrust every vendor for
fear of the apocalypse. Just kidding.

There has to be a common ground we can agree on. I just
don't have the time ( and energy ) to fight this fight.

THAT'S IT - I'm gonna end up like Bruce Willis - aren't I?

Steve actually i was trying to point those options out to guys that are hesitant to send out thier expensive parts and cannot restore them themselves . Personally i wouldnt hesitate to send Jeff , John, or any other restorer i use for a part,i havent had a problem in over 20 years with anyone switching parts on me so im very fortunate . Soemtimes if time is a problem you need to restore it yourself or oversee the project and farm it out locally.

I like John Pirkle ; If you send a restamp,he will immediately on receipt of the part ask you to use someone else.
