924 with some sloppy circa 1978 goo/puddy that i can only assume was once rubber helping to dampen/hold the alternator in its precise position. Where do i get rpl? Thanks.

they can be found at porsche, not expensive. But even with new bushings the mounting will be sloppy. Thats why i changed the front one to a home made aluminium bush.

I have a NOS alt bushing on the shelf. $21.75 from Pelican or you can buy mine for $15 + shipping. Happy to combine shipping with other parts you may be looking for.

If you don't buy Dan's bushing, dump the factory flexi-mount, get yourself a hockey puck and a hole saw. Drill the puck for a mounting bolt, centre the hole saw on the hole you just made and you'll end up with the perfect bushing and no more wonky alternators.

Do a search for "hockey puck fix".

HTH and have fun!

Hmm. Hockey pucks might be harder to come by in Hawaii than Porsche parts

I did this with Carquest. They sourced new bushings in a day or so for about $17 IIRC. Maybe less... search and ye will find

Hmm, hockey pucks were about $1/ea. You could also get them in different colors if you wanted.
