Well any maker can have a bad run of slip rings but I'd say that would be the exception on ND alts.

My comment about a better VR needing to be made is meant to be tongue in cheek as many solid state VRs are out there on top of truck engines towing heavy loads in high heat, etc. Perhaps Bosch remans are using cheaper components similar to rebuilt ND parts being cheaper. Hard to argue that remans last longer than the OE ones.

I like the old mechanical VRs if for nothing more than nostalgia and the fact that most old 911s aren't seeing the yearly high mileage they once did.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
