Hmm. I could probably design it for a 3-axis . . . It's a way-off, yet, though !
I miss not having machines to play with . .
Cool stuff, well let me know when you know, and I'll see what I can do.

Have a look at doing the alt rebuild yourself. Once you've worked out how it comes apart, it's a real easy job to do.
Far cheaper than a complete replacement.
I have just dropped it off in the garage who did my spark plugs, as an alternative was getting someone to rebuild it. If I can get it rebuilt with a warranty that'll probably work out cheaper at the moment. Will see, I could only see the rectify pack for sale and I was hoping I could get a complete service kit. Part of our work here is manufacturing small DC motors so we're pretty clues up on these types of bits of kit.
Cheers for the info on the plugs. I used an online conversion tool, and thats what came up as a direct replacement for the stock Champion ones. They seem absolutely fine. It does stumble a little when idling, but then so does my focus every so often, I think its only because I'm listening for it that I can hear it.
While I've got the alternator off I was going to change the serpentine as its not been changed since we've had the car, thought might as well, then stick the old one in the boot.
