Anyone ever give one of these a try? The bolt on the back of my alternator stripped. $30 sounds better than $150 for a remain alternator.

100% NEW ALTERNATOR RECTIFIER FOR HONDA S2000 2.0L 2.2L 2000-2009 021580-4850 | eBay

 

I tried, it got rid of the flickering, so far so good. I just hope it's not going to die on me in a year or so.

 

Sweet! how long have you been using it?

 

3 months.

 

Bought one from the same seller, never used it. That being said, that store did have it listed as being for a 100 amp alternator instead of 105 amp alternator (as the S2k is) until I asked a question about it (after already purchaseing), then he changed the description.

I chickened out installing it for fear that a random, no name part could screw up something else electrical - my knowledge here is really limited so I err on the side of caution.

 

Not really sure about using cheap rectifiers. Lot of digital components don't like AC injected into DC supplies.

 

My last car had the flickering issue and I picked up a used a alternator for $40 and used it for 70k miles with no issue.
