So I ordered a rebuilt Paris Rhone 90A alternator for my 3.2 though our host. It arrived in a nice shipping box with no damage to the box. Open the shipping box and the box which contained the alternator was badly damaged with a large hole in the side as if it had been seriously dropped from hight and broke through the box. The alternator was of course damaged and the nut would not budge at all. Despite that it was shipped out. Now this was "drop-shipped" so Pelican never had their hands on it. Pelican said the rebuilder will send me a shipping label to return the damaged unit. Disappointing because now we have yet another delay in my engine build. I do not like drop-ship stuff for this exact reason. Hopefully the rebuilder will send me the label ASAP and also send out the replacement alternator ASAP.
