Very nice write-up, indead. I always like it when someone goes an 'unusual' route and saves some bucks in the process. Great job. I have to commend you on taking all these pictures. I ususally get so involved in my projects that I forget to snap them until it is too late....

One comment; I would add in big fat bold letters to disconnect the battery before working on the alternator. The alternator is connected straight to the positive terminal of the battery via a 16mm2 cable without any fuse or relay. If the ring connector touches the engine case it will fling melted metal around.
