    @jberry813 - ^^^ this was a good thread. Any way we can bring it back? You're welcome to make me OP on it if the actual OP is no longer on TW.

    Was this the guy who was rewinding alternators?

    I'm looking for comprehensive build documentations for all those and that thread was perfect.

    Here's what I've been able to dig up; none of them as clean or as thoughtful as the deleted thread if I remember correctly.
